MRI Results

Gavin had an MRI this morning. The neurosurgeon looked at the scans when we went to see him for a shunt check after the MRI. (It's a mandatory trip to the neurosurgeon's office after an MRI.  Gavin has a programmable shunt.  It's programmed by magnet.  And the MRI is one huge magnet.  So we have to check to make sure the shunt didn't get reprogrammed during the MRI.) Gavin's neurosurgeon said today's scan looked great. He said it wasn't the official reading because the neuro-radiologist does that. However, I consider a neurosurgeon's reading to be pretty official. He looks at scans on a VERY regular basis. Will let you all know if we hear anything different.

1 Chronicles 17:16
...“Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?"
 
Praising God for how far He has brought Gavin. We'll never understand why certain children survive and others do not. And we recognize the fact that we've never been guaranteed survival in Gavin's case either. Just so grateful for the continued good news on the MRI front.

Thanks for checking in.

Much love,

That's great Stacie! Also, I liked the beads of courage story below. I read that one last night-brought tears to my eyes.
