MRI results!

This is a little delayed, but we have the results from the MRI. The doctors said that her brain and spine look just fine! Which is awesome and amazing!! They also confirmed they can't see muscle in her upper extremities. Well... we will see... I know Kyle and I have seen her move her right arm, and her nurse has seen her move her arms too. I know she will end up proving them wrong :)


We also had an orthopedic consult yesterday. It was more then I had thought it was going to be. Usually consults are bedside and it's just whoever that specialist is. This time we went to a room, and it was the orthopedic doctors, Monique (her nurse), another nurse or something like that, two nurse practitioners, our case worker, two orthopedic doctors, and then a regular doctor... I felt a bit overwhelmed... Anyway, the orthopedic doctor said we can start 'passive range of motion' therapy while still inpatient, but just on her legs. She can really move them down, she just needs some help. They said we are going to wait until we get to Shriner's until we do any splits or casting on anything. The social worker also said they will organize which ever car seat we need, if it be a car seat or a car bed. They will arrange with Shriner's and see what we will need and how to get it. 


Everyone has just been so so wonderful! They think of things and get them done (usually) before I even think about them. And they have been so nice about everything, and very supportive. Willing to answer all of our questions, no matter how silly they are. They of course have been amazing with Anabelle. But they have also been so helpful for us and all of Anabelle's visitors, whoever it may be. 


I couldn't imagine doing this anywhere else.
