C-Spine X-ray numbers

I called Children's and they got right back to me with Goldie's test results. Her bloodwork was normal. I was so anxious about her x-rays I didn't ask for any numbers. Then, the nurse said there was a concern about her x-ray. There is some instability and she is waiting for the ENT to let her know if we need to see the neurosurgeon. (I would feel better if we saw the neurosurgeon.) I asked what her numbers were and she gave me these: extension 2.5, neutral 3.5 and flexion 4.4. I wasn't writing as she was talking so this is what I pieced together (from my prego brain) after I hung up. I may have the flexion and extension reversed? I felt better after hearing the numbers. They sound like they're within the acceptable limits. I'll sleep much better tonight!


ETA: I got a call from Children's this morning that Goldie needs to see the neurosurgeon. Her ENT needs to know what precautions to take during surgery. I made an appointment for next week.

Oh good, I have no idea what Adam's numbers were they just told me he was okay. Hope you continue to get good news!

that is great! I know hearing the numbers can be stressful but it is good to know them. I never knew to ask till I was told them at 7 years in. Praying for all the rest to go well!

It's cool they are looking so early for you- we have to wait until the kids are much older over here. Hope all's well :)
