Today Mylah had an MRI to map out what we will do in the near future for her heart health. Currently her left ventricle is slightly enlarged due to the fact that the oxygenated blood in her heart is regurgitating back into that space. Today's sedated procedure will give Dr. Galindo a better picture of what will happen with her heart journey.
We got to the hospital super early today, got her registered and checked in and then we waited and waited and waited some more. Mylah was so very patient as we were in line to have her taken back for her procedure. She played in the playroom as long as she could stand it and then watched some shows on the iPad for a bit.
Isn't her gown the cutest?! Made by yours truly (Check the shop for all sizes!)
Finally after a four hour wait it was Mylah's turn to head back to the MRI room. She was so brave and laid so still. They moved her to the bed that they would be using for the procedure and then they sedated her. It is never easy for me to watch that happen. I have a really hard time and I know I suffer from PTSD regarding all her other procedures and surgeries.
The actual MRI didn't last as long as we thought it might. It took about an hour. We had gotten lunch and then waited in the waiting room to hear something. he did really well and we were so happy to see her right after.
She has a really hard time coming out of anesthesia, but she took it like a champ. I am always so proud of her and how well she does with all of this.
She rested for about an hour, tried to have some popsicle and ice and come out of it.
We headed home as soon as she recovered enough and she slept most of the way. For now, we wait to meet with Dr. Galindo in a few weeks to go over her MRI results and make a plan for her heart.
