You may remember Louisa had a MRI earlier this year. Since then, we've visited neurosurgeons, urologist, a genetics specialist . . . had ultrasounds and other tests all to determine whether or not this little lady has a tethered spinal cord. While one radiologist believes her images are normal, her neurosurgeon and a second radiologist felt something is abnormal.
So, here we are in December. Louisa has reached the 1-year mark, and the doctors are hoping her anatomy has grown enough to undergo the next procedure -- which will hopefully be the ONE that gives some direction to the doctors.
On Thursday, December 3, Lou will have light sedation to complete this test. Prayers for a smooth-sailing procedure and for her to recover from it all well. My mama's heart is also fretting because her appointment will not be until 1:00 p.m., meaning she will go without any solid food from 7:00 a.m. and her last clear liquids at 9:00. Prayers for an understanding heart and tummy!
