8/15/10 MRI
We have had a pretty "normal" week of doctor appointments and life at home. We had one unexpected trip to the Pediatric clinic on Thursday (which she had an appointment for Friday already and we went to that one too!). Josie broke out in a rash all over her little head the day after she got her new feeding tube. We watched it and let the doctor office know about it early in the week, but then the rash started getting worse and sores started popping up under the tape holding her feeding tube. The tape was right by her eyes, so her eyes also got infected. On Wednesday afternoon we called again and they wanted us to bring her right in Thursday morning. They tested for bacterial and viral infections and so far nothing has been confirmed about what the rash is on her head. After 2 baths, the spots have somewhat cleared up and dried, but her little head looks pretty yucky.
Tomorrow (Monday, August 16) we take Josie in for an MRI. This will be her 1 month image following her brain surgery. This will be a long appointment - approximately 1pm-5pm. Josie will be put under with general anesthesia because she has to hold absolutely still for the scan.
Keep us in prayer - we will meet with her neuro-surgeon on Tuesday to go over the results.
We have been so well supported by everyone - thank you for all the help, we have needed it and appreciate it more than you'll ever know.
Blessings,
Darcia & Marc
