Kaitrynn update
So... the MRI has finally come back. It showed that her spine (tethered cord) hasn't changed since the last MRI when she was 3 months old. The Question is does she still have one, and this is causing all of the pain? They would like to do another MRI on her brain to rule out anything there? The plan for tonight is do a sleep study. The results from that woun't come back until Monday. They are doing an EEG to see if she is having seisures at night? She is also being tested for Restless leg sydrom. This is treated by giving the kids more iron. They are usually low on iron to start with, but not enimic. Kaitrynn's blood test did come back with low levels of iron. They hope this is the issue? I am so... tired and have been told this is it time and time again? I am not holding out hope that this is it:). The sleep study will see if she has RLS, seisures and we will see if she has a stomach episodes or not. She was so.. tired last night from the drugs they gave her for the MRI she slept like a champ last night. Of course I didn't because I was waiting for her to do her thing. They say this sleep study is a reaaallll... fun test. Plan for tomorrow is possible MRI on the Brain and an ECHO to check her heart. She already has a heart issue that is in good standing, but she needs an ECHO every few months. Stay tuned as Paul Harvey would say "For the rest of the story". Thanks to all of you for your comments and prayers.
