We had a very long day, but it turned out to be a great one. The doctors said that the MRI could not have gone more perfect, and we found out that Samuel is completely healthy. I may have overreacted a bit, but I never want to have to go through that again. Thanks to Danielle and all of you for your prayers and concern. We feel very blessed!

Angry and groggy, we got to take a ride through the hospital from recovery to his room.

MRI

Tomorrow morning Samuel is scheduled to have an MRI of the brain (unless he catches mine & Katelyn's cold). He has what is called Anisocoria, which simply means unequal pupils. He was born with it which usually means it's just a variation of normal. However, his pediatrician wants to rule out any neurological problems. We have struggled with this decision to put our 5-month old under anesthesia for a month now. I have been sick to my stomach about it, but after researching, and praying, and asking everyone involved endless questions we have decided to go through with it. I believe he is perfectly fine, but on the off chance that I'm wrong I could not live with myself. Please say a little prayer for him tonight.
