Thankful Thursday!

Well we have a ton to be thankful for here at our house! We saw Dr. Scott at Children's Hospital Boston and he was so wonderful! Twink does not have an arachnoid cyst but does have cystic pockets where the stroke damaged her brain! There will be no surgeries for her. He confirmed that she did indeed have a stroke. She does have a few cysts due to the stroke but it is nothing to worry about. The damage is not pressing on her brain which is good. If it had then they would do some kind of surgery. All her arteries look good from what he could see. The MRA wasn't a complete study so he was speaking for what he saw. He did say he could see why China thought it was an arachnoid cyst. The CT scan shows an arachnoid cyst because it was a lower level of a scan. The MRI shows a lot more and confirms a stroke. China only did the CT scan so that is why we had an arachnoid cyst diagnosis. Dr. Scott did say she should do very well with her therapies. She has come along way and he said that was very promising!

The girls did great going to Boston except the last 1/2 hr. As you can see from the pictures above they were not very happy towards the end of the trip going there. They slept great and did wonderful on the way home! Hopefully this will be the last time we have to go to Boston! Thanks for all your support and prayers!
