MRI

This morning at 8 a.m. Erin had MRIs of her brain and cervical spine to rule out a structural cause (such as a brain cyst or scoliosis) for her torticolis. In order to do the MRIs, Erin had to be placed under general anesthesia to make sure she would not move for the hour and forty-five minutes it took to complete the procedures. It was a little rough to wait knowing that something could go wrong while she was under. However, she apparently did very well, although waking up was pretty tough on her little system. She cried inconsolably for awhile, and I was glad Kurt didn't see her until she was out of PANDA and in the recovery room. When she finally woke up and saw him, she gave the biggest grin. She enjoyed listening to Christmas carols on our way out of the building, and then proceeded to fall asleep for the next five hours. Can't say I blame her as it was an early and rough morning for her. We probably won't get the results back until Monday, but we're just glad she made it through and is back to her happy, hungry self.
