Prepping for his MRI

We're back at Memorial Hermann for Jack Henry to get an MRI of his left eye. His opthamologists (Dr. Hintner and Dr. Wittenberg) want to find out what's going on with his left eye.

We're hoping for the best, but it's always an anxious time when you're talking about sedating a newborn and putting through a lengthy (and not quiet) exam. In the least, the exam shouldn't be too taxing on him since it's non-invasive and the nurses and techs have been great so far.

The harder logistical challenge is that JH has to go NPO (without food or drink) for an extended period of time. His last feeding was at 9:30AM and he may not be able to eat until 2PM or later, which would be longest stretch for him by far.


UPDATE: The radiologist didn't see anything really acute or anything to be alarmed about or the doctor would have requested another doctor's consult or to have JH admitted immediately.


UPDATE #2: According to JH's pediatrician, nothing showed up on the MRI to be concerned about. We're waiting for further feedback or confirmation from his opthamologists. :)
