Adventures in Calgary

Today was hard. Very hard. Much harder than I thought it would be. Molly was awesome. She wasn't allowed to eat past 8:30 am this morning and the MRI was scheduled for 1pm. She didn't end up going in until 1:45 pm so she was a bit grumpy by that point but she's so curious that as long as we were looking at new people or playing with new stuff she was okay. We were allowed to be with her during her sedation and it was really creepy and upsetting. She just looked so helpless and afraid before she went under. And then they just sent us away...It all felt so wrong. And hour and a half later we were told the test was over and that she was awake and hungry. We went in and she was so dopey. She couldn't focus on anything or control her head very well. She could barely suck. It was awful to see her that way. Luckily she was only like that for about 30 or 40 minutes. By the time we got her home she was almost completely back to normal. I have no idea if they will find anything with this test and sure I'm still a bit worried about the results but I'm just so relieved to have the test over. We should hear from the neurologist in the next week or two.

I must say how lucky we are to be here with the best neighbours in the world. Tonight Deb and Jackie made us dinner and Jamie showed up with presents for Molly. Everyone has been totally supportive and available when we needed them. This is what community is all about!
