Anna's MRI

Despite the sad face, Anna did very well with her latest procedure. She had some trouble coming out of anesthesia, but found it amusing that she could lay on the couch and watch Little Einsteins as many times as she wanted!

The MRI did show that she has small optic nerves. We met with a neurodevelopmental pediatrician the day after getting that diagnosis and he felt that if we had little concern over her vision, which we do, than she probably will be just fine. He thought that if it was a significant impairment we would already be able to tell.

That doctor also evaluated Anna's development thus far and was very pleased with her. He felt she received and responded to information very well and did not show a significant delay. Of course, her expressive speech is delayed, but we all feel with continued therapy it will improve rapidly. We felt so good after leaving this appointment. He told us to treat Anna normally, send her to preschool and do everything the way we did it for Erin. It was so nice to have a good doctor's appt. We look forward to more of those. Thank you Lord!
