MRI

Well it's that time again. A couple of weeks ago James had his MRI checkup. To say it didn't go well is putting it lightly. Here in Utah they don't do general anesthesia on children for MRI's unless they absolutely have to. Well last time he had an MRI done here they barely got everything they needed because they just gave him some medication to help "relax" him. I told them not to do that again because he screamed and cried through the whole beginning of the MRI. Did they listen? Nope! They did it again this time and surprise surprise we couldn't get James to relax and then they barely got what they needed from his brain but no spine. I was so mad! It's no fun to watch your child sit there and scream and cry for his mommy. And then the nurse tell me they can't get all his scans. So today we went and had them finished and they put him under general anesthesia. We haven't heard back yet what the results of his spine images are but we know his brain is all clear and no signs of cancer. They said most likely the spine is clear as well so that is good news! James is doing really well in school and enjoys it so much. He's still doing PT weekly and some days are harder than others for him. She works his balance problems a lot and when she tries something new and challenges him he struggles and cries. Other than that everything is the same and going well!
