Post-op MRI results

A few weeks ago, Emma had a post-op MRI to compare to the one she had before all her big surgeries in January.  We got the results from Dr. Troup this week.  He feels that everything looks improved, and he was overall very pleased. Emma will go back for another MRI in 6 months, which will be 10 months after the surgery. 

One disappointing thing about this visit is that, much to Dr. Troup's surprise, Emma's choking has been getting worse. Well, Russell thinks it's the same, but my mom and I think it's worse. And we're the ones with her all day, so we must be right...right? :)  The severity of her episodes isn't worse, but the frequency definitely is. So disappointing. But who knows, maybe she has a little allergy drainage or something irritating her this time of year?

Emma also had another sleep study, and the results from it were positive as well. Her central apnea has improved, but it's still in the severe range. Not the best news, but I feel like we're due for at least a little good news with Emma's health.

Ok, enough about the medical stuff - pictures? Yes?
