MRI

Took Brielle to a routine doctor appointment today and discovered that her head circumference has increased quite a bit since she was last measured. Back in December they were concerned about this and sent her for a head ultrasound. The head ultrasound showed that she did have increased fluid on her brain. Well the doctor had just been keeping an eye on things, hoping that the fluid would not increase further. But after today the concern is back again, and Brielle will be getting an MRI sometime this week. If the fluid is in fact increasing, Brielle will probably need to have a shunt put in place to basically help drain the fluid from her brain. So needless to say we would appreciate your prayers during this time.
