MRI


The nurse gave Adam a little bit of blood today, to help the low blood count (probably from taking so much blood for lab tests). We did the MRI and it showed that the oligodendrocytes are damaged. The parts of neurons that help to get information from one part of the brain to another. What does this mean? We don't really know. We do know that oligodendrocytes have the ability to regenerate, and he responded well to the physical exam: he wanted to sit up, and looked at mom and also at the nurse, twice. A Good day.

We're glad to hear of the good progress he's making. I keep praying and hoping for the best. We'd be glad to help with the kids, just let us know when you need someone to take them.

This sweet picture just makes my tear up! What an angel boy! I'm happy to take kids and have them stay here as well for however long you need. We'd love to have some extra bodies around the house!

xox,
