So Ians third MRI was yesterday. Scott could not go because of work so I had my best friend come with me (Amanda). It worked out well. She kept me in high spirits and distracted me when usually I start letting my mind wonder. We checked in at 8:30 and I think by 9:00 we were down stairs in the MRI "suite" Ian had the same nurse he had last time. I wish I could remember his name but he was really great at his job and it was nice to see a familiar face. We were down there maybe 30 minutes and they were ready for him. Of course he screamed and fought and it went exactly like it has in the past. When the MRI was over they called us back before he had woke up. I was so thankful for that so I could be right there when he woke up. I think we were walking out of Childrens by 11:30! It felt like we were in then out.
Today was Ians appointment with his neurologist Dr Rogers. He had the results of the MRI. He said that everything looked consistent and pretty much the same as the last MRI. There is no talk of surgery on his tethered cord right now since he seems to be really progressing in therapy. There is also no talk of surgery for his Chiari 1. That will probably happen but much further down the road. My favorite part is when he told me Ian wont need another MRI in June! Woohoo. We might actually go a whole year without a MRI! Thats great news.
Next appointment is Dennis Developmental Center. . Everyone have a Merry Christmas and I will of course keep everyone posted!
