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.

ENT Appointment, AAI x-ray

Goldie's ENT appointment went really well. He answered most of my questions before I could even ask them. He wants her to stay overnight, so I didn't have to ask for that. We discussed the possibility that her stay could be longer if getting fluids in her becomes a problem. I really like this doctor, he was very attentive to our conversation and thoughtful in his responses.

Goldie's apnea is in the mild range so he feels the surgery should eliminate most of it. Her tonsils are big, not huge, but big enough to cause the mild sleep apnea she experiences. Of course this can vary on any given night depending on what position she sleeps in or if she is sick.

After our appointment they were able to do her bloodwork and her AAI x-ray before they closed at 5:00! I was impressed.

I'm not able to hold Goldie for the x-ray, but Hank was supposed to meet us. However he was still at work in another state. So, a nurse held Goldie while I waited in the hall. In the hall was the computer that the x-ray pictures come up on. I immediately noticed a gap between her first and second vertebrae. Of course I have no idea how much of a gap is normal, so I've been worried sick ever since we left. I asked how soon her x-ray would be read and was told tomorrow. I was not going to ask the tech. Lesson learned from the sleep study. I am praying everything is ok. My mind always imagines the worst case scenario. The funny thing is, if I wasn't unexpectedly pregnant I wouldn't have pushed the sleep issue and she wouldn't have had her x-ray until next year. So, if its normal I can relax, and if it's not we'll be glad we know so we can keep her safe and do whatever else is necessary.
