We now have a CT scan scheduled for next week to check if Brenna's adenoids are enlarged or if there are any other issues going on with her sinuses/nasal passages. The doctor said she would normally just take the adenoids right out, but she doesn't want to do anything to Brenna that isn't necessary.
She'll have to be sedated for the scan, since you have to be still for 5 minutes and that obviously wouldn't happen with a baby. That makes me a little nervous. She's also not supposed to eat for 4-6 hours beforehand. Um, really? I have no idea how we're going to pull that one off, except to have a screaming baby for hours.

Ha, that's a good one, guys. Now seriously, when do we eat?
Praying that all goes well and that we finally get some answers about what is causing her to not breathe and eat as well as she always has been. This girl needs all the help she can get to eat more!
I've been praying for Brenna and your family since I read about her in the SJR awhile back. I look forward to reading your posts and following her progress. I will continue to pray for all of you daily. God bless : )
ReplyDeleteMy son had to have an MRI when he was a little less than a year old. It was nerve wracking and I cried when they took him away to be sedated. The relief I felt when I saw him in recovery is a feeling I cherish as much as the day he was born:) Good luck Brenna!
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for Brenna, for the doctors to find out what is causing her to have trouble eating and for you and Evan to have calm minds and hearts as she has to be sedated. All will go well my friend.
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers that you get some answers! That picture made my morning, what an infectious smile!!
ReplyDeleteHaving a little one who has to "go under" gives you a real appreciation for the anesthesiologists, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteHopefully your appointment is early in the morning so she can have a big milkshake afterward.
That outfit is crazy cute!!! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteOutfit is adorbs as always...will be praying for brenna
ReplyDeleteLOVE the outfit, but not as much as the smiley baby cheeks. Just carry that picture with you for the "screaming baby moments" as you remember that this too shall pass. Hope they find the issues. Perseverance, patience, and prayer. Speaking of prayers -- heading your way, bigtime!
ReplyDeleteI just love this picture!
