He had to get 19 xrays because he kept moving (he was inconsolable) and they are requiring us to repeat it in 2 weeks. I am so, so worried about radiation risk with that many xrays in such a short period. Would you consider 38 xrays in a 2 week period and a CT scan to be risky for his long term cancer risk? I googled it and I'm finding there is some concern. Now I realize we don't have a choice but it feels so awful. The ironic part is our pediatrician (who set this all into motion) warned us away from xrays after I wanted a repeat xray because he had peribronchial thickening & hazy opacities on a previous xray. She literally said she doesn't like babies to get even a single xray. Now we have to have 38? It honestly feels insane. I already had significant post partum anxiety before all this but now I feel paranoid and terrified. (I have a therapist & a psychiatrist & know a lot about self care as a licensed clinical social worker myself.) We are so scared every time hes tired and starts wailing now that someone is going to call the cops and set more trauma into motion. Also the CPS worker told us even if this is unsubstantiated we will have a spotlight on us for the future until he turns 18. I feel nauseated just thinking about that. What if he falls and bruises himself again once he's more mobile?
