Ariana had another MRI this morning. Her seventh since birth. That’s a lot of brain imaging for such a little girl, and I’m not even counting her CT Scans. This MRI was ordered by her hematologist to establish a post-treatment baseline after her seven months of Coumadin therapy (blood thinners) as an attempt to disintegrate the (possible, hypothetical) blood clot in her brain that first appeared on an MRI January 27, 2010. Ari was an exceptionally sweet patient as usual. She didn’t fuss at all – before or after the treatment. We will get the results of her MRI, *fingers crossed* this week, and we’ll be able to stop the Coumadin (yea!). I’m expecting no changes since the first MRI, because the second MRI showed no progress or change in the clot for better or worse, and because I was never convinced there was one in the first place. But it was worth a shot. Just in case there was a clot and it was real and could have really harmed her. One less thing to feel like a failure about. And that’s a good thing.
La la land…
The angel awakens.
The hospital’s last steps before discharge. Done and done!
