MRI

Since we stayed with my sister Ashely, we got to use her pool too. Livie loves her aunt Ashley, almost as much as she loved the pool! Haha! (just teasin sis!)

After my last post saying how healthy Livie has been....She got a cold!! Nothing too terrible, but it still left her with a cough and wheezier lungs.

Needless to say Livie was not able to have her MRI. We went down to Utah and stayed with my sister. The next morning we got up really early and went to the hospital. We got all checked in and waited and waited until Livie was finally ready to go see the anesthesiologist....thats when he broke the news and said "That because of Alyvia's medical history, he did not feel comfortable performing the procedure." Since Alyvia was not in her best medical condition the Dr didn't feel good about her having the sedation for the MRI, especially where Livie is not a good candidate at all for any kind of sedation. I had been a little worried about that with her cold, I'd even called Primary's, but they said to still bring her down. So it's kind of a bummer we'll have to do it all over again in a couple weeks, but that's okay, because if the anesthesiologist didn't feel good about it, then I'm going with his opinion. I am glad that they can respect how sick Livie was and know that she likes to keep everyone on their toes with some of the tricks she pulls!

The trip wasn't a complete waste though, we stopped in the PICU and got to see a couple of our favorite nurses!! They all happened to be working that same day. Which made our day! I am so glad that they got to see Livie now, since they'd only seen her at her sickest. (I didn't even think to bring a camera though and get pics, dang it!) We had some of the best nurses EVER and I am still grateful for how incredible they were! We love Primary's PICU nurses!!! They are GREAT!

We had to re-schedule the rest of Livie's appointments she had that day since they all go off what the MRI says....so we'll be going back down in 3 weeks, hopefully then she'll be nice and healthy. (Well, healthy for Livie!)


THEN...
The highlight of our trip...while we were in Utah, I got to finally meet my little HERO, Charlie Cooper!! A lot of you know about him from my blog, for those of you who don't, Charlie and Alyvia have both been through similar brain trauma. It was such a neat experience to finally meet the little boy who has touched my life and my heart so much. Charlie is such a handsome little guy with the most beautiful blue eyes. It was so great to finally meet Charlie and his amazing family. I have to much love and admiration for them.
