Ok! Megan had her MRI yesterday 4/22/09. We got some good news. Her tumor hasn't grown at all! It is the same size has it was in the beginning. Her cyst hasn't changed ether. It looks like she was born with it. We are going to have some other test done because of some things that aren't making since to us and the doctor. There is a good chance she had a concution (?) when she fell which are causing some short term memory loss and other things. That test won't be done for another 3-4 months due trying to get into the specialist. Matt and I drilled the doctor with a lot of questions we had or I should say I did. Matt said I was a little hard on him oh well it's my baby. Here are some of the questions and answers. The longer we wait to do brain surgery the better for her. She will be developed mentally and physically if we can wait. If we have to do surgery it will be done a week to a month when we decide. Again if we have to do surgery he will have to go through the back of her head and split the brain in 2 going left to right or up to down (I can't remember the terms for the brain at the moment) to get to the tumor. We comfirmed the the cyst and tumor is kissing the brainstem. The doctor did tell us some of the risk of doing her surgery if and when it happens. I like to be prepared so I asked a lot of the questions regarding that. I want to know what we will have to go through. At this moment I can't remember a lot. When Matt gets home I will have him read this and add to it and fix my spelling since I can spell. One thing I do want to say is that Matt and I feel really good that things are working out for us and Megan isn't in harms way right now and we are breathing better. Also we also like to say thank you for all the prays and concerns we have been getting. THANK YOU! Also these pics are from when Megan was waking up from the MRI. That was hard! She didn't come out the way she did last time. It was like she was high on drugs. Matt and I didn't like it at all. She wasn't her self. Again THANK YOU!
