This will be brief, but we wanted to let everyone know that our wonderful neurologist (and we mean it!) managed to talk the radiologist into double-booking an MRI for Lexi! We see our family doctor on Monday for her physical. We have the Ok from the cardiologist to proceed, so, it looks like we're set for 10am next Tuesday! So, she has a sedated MRI next Tuesday. Typically, MRI's really aren't that big of a deal, but, because of Lexi's age, size and cardiac history, she will be going under full anesthesia and most likely be put on a ventilator again. In addition, they warned us that they may have to admit her following the MRI because of her past history in order to carefully monitor her coming out of anesthesia. She did well on her EMG, so we're hoping just a few hours in recovery will be all she needs and we can avoid another hospital stay- even a short one!
Please pray that Lexi's MRI goes well and that the doctors get a clear picture as to what is happening. Lexi right eye is pretty severe and we are very concerned!
Please also pray that the anesthesia goes well and Lexi is able to come home on the same day!
We'll post again next week after the MRI! They will have the results back in 24 hours after the scan!
