MRI Day

So today our little one has to go under general anesthesia for the MRI later this morning. She's pretty darn cranky right now, she hasn't eaten in 5 hours because of the upcoming anesthesia -- sugar water on a pacifier just doesn't cut it. 

On the genetic testing front, even though the official tests haven't come back yet but there were a couple of good developments. The ultrasound showed that she has a well developed Thymus which is frequently absent in DiGeorge Syndrome -- this doesn't rule it out yet completele, but with her lack of classic facial features, normal Calcium levels and presence of a Thymus are three good signs that DiGeorge is unlikely or only a milder form if present.

The Gastroenterologist also believes that Alagille Syndrome is unlikey due to severity of the heart defect. Usually the heart defect in this syndrome is minor while the Liver abnormalities are significant. Another positive :) 

... but we'll have to wait for all the testing to be definitive, right now though our little Peanut is passing tests right and left :)
