The cardiology department called today. They feel it is important that they also do an MRI on Lexi. There is some concern about her blood vessels around her heart being too narrow. This can be very dangerous and even fatal. However, the cardiac MRI is 2 hours, along with the brain MRI, that makes it a 3 hour test. The cardiac anesthesiologist only wants to put Lexi under once. So, after phone calls with cardiology, neurology, and opthomology, the doctors feel it best that we wait and schedule both MRIs for September 1st (the 1st available for such a lengthy test). The time is set for 7am!! (This means another stay in Cleveland- we're going to check into the Ronald McDonald house!). So, we will not have any more news (we hope!) until after the 1st. We knew people would be praying and checking up tomorrow so we wanted to let you all know! With Lexi's 2 aortic narrowings, it is definitely better to be safe then rush into things!
Thank you for your continue prayers! Pray that Lexi's vision is not too affected the next 2 weeks as we wait for the MRI.
