Avery Update

We got the results back from Avery's MRI and they came back Normal... THANK GOD. The little "lump" they found on his back showed to just be some soft tissue and nothing to worry about. I spoke with the Doctor and we are back at square 1 at trying to figure out what could be causing him pain. The doctor wants us to wait 2 weeks and see if he is still complaining/waking/crying in his sleep etc... and if so then he said he may send us in for an ultrasound of his abdomen to rule out anything there causing any issues.

Thank you ALL for your prayers for Avery... we are glad that this showed nothing, and pray that his pain can go away on its own!

The A Team

been a bit

so things have been pretty crazy around our house. I've had a migraine since Sunday, so my time on the computer has been limited... Avery went and had his MRI yesterday, it was awful having to watch him be put under again... the procedure took about an hour, he threw up 4 times yesterday after the procedue but as of last night he was back to his old self.

Avery now knows how to come in our room in the night, and climb up in our bed without even waking us... this has become his routine since he keeps walking with his back pain... hopefully once we get some answers and get him better he will go back to sleeping through the night in his own bed.

AJ has now gone 2 weeks sleeping through the night... going to bed between 9-9:30 and waking between 5:30-6:30...

I will post results once I get them from Avery MRI.. sorry so short of an update!

Prayers for Avery - Update

I have never been more validated in my feelings about listening to my gut, and my boys than I was on Friday.

I took Avery into the doctor to see Dr. Javandi (Dr. G has Avery says his name). He examed Avery completely.. then had him stand on the table in his birthday suit to get a look at his back... he noticed a blue spot (very fant) and asked if I saw it too.. I did, it touched and felt around and thought it was a hematoma but under the skin, and was going to get another opion from another dr. In came Dr. Rosbach. Both of them examed Avery, felt the spot, moved the spot.

They said basically they believe it is a cluster of blood vessels (hemotoma) that has come up to the skin. Normally it won't affect anything unless it was affecting the bone/causing pain... if that was the case then surgery would be invovled to remove it. Then he said the T word, he said it would be called a tumor as any type of mass would but that it was begnin... because of the blood work done the week before it should all of his levels perfect so we didn't have to worry about the "C" word. A blessing from God.

So the next step, Avery is scheduled for a sedated MRI (gulp) on Sept 26th at 7am.
