Ella-MRI update

We finally got Ella's next MRI scheduled - for Jan 7th! That's the day both Kaylee and Andy go back to school after winter break. They initially had her scheduled for mid-March, but when we said her pediatrician wanted it sooner rather than later, they said the earliest available was 1/7. We've now left a message for her pediatrician (who was off today) asking if we need to try to get it done sooner or if that date is fine with her. Ella's 1 year appointment is scheduled for Jan 14th, so if we do have her MRI done on the 7th, hopefully the pediatrician would have the results in time for us to go over them at that appointment. So for now, just more waiting!

On another note, Ella is super congested right now, so it's a good thing her MRI wasn't scheduled for this week! It started a couple days ago, but yesterday got worse, then last night she couldn't stop coughing and woke up crying. Jamie steamed up a small bathroom and held her in there for a while around 11pm to help loosen the mucus, then we put Vicks on her and a humidifier in her room. She was back in bed around 11:30/45 and managed to sleep until 8 this morning. Poor thing was pretty miserable today with a red/raw nose. Andy's preschool Thanksgiving Feast is tomorrow and he really wants Ella to go, but I'm not sure she'll be up for it! We'll see how she's doing in the morning. So far so good tonight (more Vicks and humidifier again), but it's only been a couple hours since bedtime.
