Nina’s MRI and Nina’s Baptism, Part V(!)
Presently: I need to grab some of the text from the care page and bring it on over to the blog… but I’m pretty sure word has gotten around about Nina’s CT scan from last month. There was an anomaly that showed up in one of the views, and it was identified as just that — an anomaly. So last Friday (September 3rd) Nina braved the hospital for a few hours (with Melissa and I) while Grampa Dave and Grandma Marcia watched Ian so that little girl could go through an MRI, which is like the CT scan, only more thorough and actually less dangerous. The anesthesia was the part that had us scared, but the anesthesiologist (spelled that right the first time, booyah!) said Nina did perfectly, with a reassuring smile. Today (September 7th) we got the results back from the MRI and the verdict is that no anomaly shows up in the MRI. This is reason enough to celebrate, but Melissa and I are going to be asking a lot of questions to make sure. We’re thrilled, and we’re prepared to dance a jig — but we’d like to read the report from the radiologist, just to be sure we can start the music. Regardless I’d like to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers… either this was never really something to worry about, or something miraculous happened; in Nina’s life there seems to be no shortage of those, or people who love her. Thank you.
Alright let’s start getting this blog caught up, shall we? What if I were to tell you that I have yet more pictures from Nina’s Baptism?
