Dakota's MRI...Today

It is 6:30-ish a.m. I am eating cereal fast, before I go get Dakota up. We are going to UVRMC to get her MRI this morning and Dakota is fasting in prep for her sedation. I didn't want to eat in front of her. There is a chance that she won't get the imaging done today. Because she has had the same sinus/head cold I have had, she may not be cleared for sedation, as they will not allow her to be "put to sleep" if she has respiratory issues. We are praying that she can get it done. We want answers. If we get it done today, the radiologists will look at the scans closely and then will be able to tell us if we are cleared to leave town. We were going to go to St. George/Vegas today, but with this scheduling and the weather, we can't go now. Maybe tomorrow...maybe...if the doctors say it's o.k. I have been trying to be so brave through this, but last night, I started to let down. I stopped myself before I could cry a lot, but I did tear up, thinking about my little Dakota. I don't want to see her suffer. I am going to get her up now. I'll let you know what, if anything, we find out.
