Savannah had her MRI on Friday afternoon. Everything went smoothly and she is back at school today. While trying to schedule our follow-up appointment to get the results, the doctor actually told us a couple of things. The good news is that there has been no change since her last scan in 2008. The bad news is I have a name for what she has and I'm just not liking the sound of it: global cerebral atrophy. From what I can gather from my google searches, it basically means her entire brain has shrunk. Other than that, I am not sure what it means.
We have now received our referral to a neurologist to discuss exactly what this means for Savannah and her prognosis. Unfortunately, the first available appointment is not until March 21. Until then, I just get to think about it.
I'm emotional about this today and I can't pinpoint why. The pregnancy hormones are not helping either. I just want my baby to be okay.
If you have healthy children, please take a moment to first of all thank God. Then, hug them tight and love them like crazy!!! It can all be taken away in a split second.
