Fallon and hanging on at the top of the mountain......

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

Fallon is doing fine, having a few stuggles here and there...we are remaining

positive still feeling better about things than we have the whole time she

has been sick, but she will be having an MRI to ck for tethered cord. She is

having some bladder issues and the neurologist felt it warranted NOT waiting,

but going ahead with the MRI...Now, I have to break it to her w/o

overreacting etc...She is back up to full strength on her meds as she was

having some problems with car sickness/balance vestibular things but they did

resolve with the increase in meds, and she continues to smile and be happy

most of the time...

I had heard from someone who went to the conference that an mri is not always

the best to ck for tethered cord. They are checking the lumbar area of the

spine, the only area that has never been mri'd before. IF anyone out there,

was diagnosed with tethered cord, please let me know if this was done via

MRI.

Anyways, we are still feeling wonderful about things, and hoping that " this

too, shall pass... "
