MRI update
Hey everyone. Jackson had an MRI of his head today. It appears on the MRI that there are two spots where he may have had a previous bleed. One is not inside his brain but in the layer right above it. We knew about this one from a previous head sonogram. The other spot is very small and is in the left frontal motor area. Because this is in the motor area it should not affect his cognitive abilities. The doctors say that this may cause him to need additional physical therapy though. The good news is it does not appear to be causing any problems right now. He is moving the right side of his body just as well as his left. Basically we just know it is there now, most likely there will be no long term effects from this. That's all of the news today. Because he had the MRI we did not do any pressure support trials today and will start again tomorrow. I am going to try to post a video of him being wide awake and squirmy today. If it works it is very dark, sorry. Like always please pray for all the CDH families.
Love

First of all I just want you to know that I have been following Jackson's story each and every day since his birth (and before) and pray for you all daily. The story of Jackson is much like our little girl who is a CDH survivor. I just want you to know that our Kylie had an abnormal MRI and they were all very concerned about it at the time. Her MRI showed atrophy in the white matter and they even went on to tell us that she may never walk. Only time would tell is what they said. Some words of encouragement are that Kylie did have lots of extra physical and occupational therapy but she is a happy, fast running two year old. She walked at the end of her 15th month and has been meeting gross motor milestones on track. Just so you know that is just another test they have done. Jackson is such a fighter and has shown to be so strong. Our family prays for yours. Keep it up and stay strong. You all are doing amazing. Thanks for sharing Jackson's story.
