Josiah’s MRI went really well! We didn’t get results right away since the MRI was later in the afternoon. They called this morning and told us everything still looks great! He’ll see the neurosurgeon Monday afternoon for his follow-up appointment. No Sedation! This was Josiah’s FIRST time to do the MRI while AWAKE! He didn’t […]
Seeing the hand of God
I love that on different apps, we can see photos from “this day” in past years. I love getting to see my now 12, 10, 7, and 5 year old children as babies and toddlers and preschoolers. And this time of year, I see their back to school pictures, proof of how much they’ve grown […]
May 2017 MRI
Here’s a quick MRI update from May 19th. I wrote this back in May, and realized I never did get around to posting it on the blog! Over the last month and a half (April/May), we noticed some symptoms with Josiah, which were a concern to me. We had him checked out with his primary […]
December 2016 MRI
December 8, 2016 Josiah and I were up at 4:30 yesterday to make granola bars for breakfast. He wasn’t able to eat or drink after 6, but since he woke up extra early, I took advantage of getting him some food and drink while he still could! We dropped Grace off at school and the […]
June 2016 MRI
June 21, 2016 Josiah had a long day today. We left the house a little after 7:00 this morning for his neuropsychological testing and MRI. The neuropsychological testing lasted about 2 hours. The neuropsychologist said he did great, and she will compile the results and we will meet with her again next month. Between her […]
Fun MRI Day Quotes
Josiah’s MRI results were clear/stable! Praise God! Josiah’s next MRI will be in June. Josiah was definitely in character yesterday so we thought it’d be fun to share a few of his quotes! To the Oncology Nurse Practitioner when she was chatting with him: “I wish I can be like you when I grow up”…She […]
MRI Preparation
Today as we were finalizing plans for tomorrow’s MRI, we told Josiah that he would be going to the hospital for a doctor appointment. He asked the question he always asks before an appointment – “Mommy, I’m not going to get a shot?” I explained that he wouldn’t be getting shots, but instead a needle in his […]
Faith Wins
It has been almost 6 months since Josiah’s last MRI! Wednesday, December 2, he goes back for another. I hate the anticipation. I hate the anxiety that creeps up during the weeks prior. I hate the constant stream of dreams that fill the nights, starting about two weeks before. I hate the feeling of being […]
June 2015 MRI
MRI results were good! It did show a possible sinus infection, but we were prepared for that, considering all the coughing and snot running out of his nose! 🙂 We started out the morning by sleeping in! Because the MRI was in the afternoon and he could eat/drink until 9:00am, we had no reason to […]
MRI-March 2015
Late night and early morning! I woke up with Josiah at 3:30 this morning to give Josiah his medicine and give him one last chance to eat and drink. He did eat, and thankfully was okay with going back to bed around 4. We were up again at 5:30 to get ready and be at […]
