Clear Skies

We received very good news today!  Kelly's MRI was clear!!  As Dr. Muhonen said,  "It looks like a rose."  That must be a neurosurgery term for a beautiful brain MRI.  He was very pleased with the images.  He showed us her MRI from just before her last surgery in October and put it side by side with today's scan.  It was amazing to see the difference - it was a good way to show us how good today's MRI  looked.  It was a very good visit.  Erin came over to see us and we got to see Heather too.  I have some photos I am going to try to upload  later tonight, I just had to get this news posted first and it takes me longer to get photos posted.  Thanks for coming with us, Linda.  It was good to have someone else there with Kevin out of town.   Thanks also to Tricia for bringing us lunch yesterday during our long day at the clinic.  Kelly can't deal with the cafeteria food right now.  Even the smell of the cafeteria makes her sick.  That was probably the only bad part of today.  We walked past the cafeteria on the way to Radiology and the smell did make her get sick.  Kelly, being her positive self, said, "Well at least everything is out of my stomach now so I don't have to worry about getting sick during the MRI."  We went to the new MRI department at the Outpatient Pavillion across the street from CHOC, and it is so nice now.  They have new machines and Kelly got to watch a video.  I have a photo of her getting set up with her goggles and headphones for her video that hopefully I will put on a second post tonight.
