Back to School... more testing

First  on the left is a picture of Brinleigh on Sunday Night.  Notice no oxygen.  The next picture is her early Monday  morning newly intubated before her MRI scan.  It is a great example of the swings that happen with Brinleigh.  One minute wow we are making progress the next you are shedding tears as she is back on a ventilator.

So here is the scoop on her testing this week.  Her MRI came back with good news.  The 'tumor' is not a tumor at all just a mass that has no effect on her..  Since it has not affect they will not scan for it again.  As they said it is something that bugs them because they know it's there but it does not hurt or affect her which is great news.  They have done a more extensive hearing test but as of now they do not have any results back yet.  Tuesday they did a more extensive swallow test and found nothing new.  She aspirates on the thin feeding but not the thicker.  That is also good news.  Last night they did a sleep study on her so stay tuned for those results.  Friday they will to a PH test for her reflux to see the acidic levels of the reflux along with how far up from her stomach it goes.
