Visit to the Dr & MRI

Brayden went to the doctor yesterday to meet with the surgeon he meet with when he was a few weeks old, Dr. Singh.  She told us that if Brayden does the tissue expanders with her, she wants to wait until he is 17-18 months and not 6 months like she told us before.  She said she wants to wait that long, that way his bones and organs are more developed by then.  Great....we were expecting to start his surgery in May.  So now we have 3 options, we look in to going to Chicago to get the surgery done with Dr. Bauer who is the top surgeon with nevus and tissue expanders or we wait until he is 17-18 months and go with Dr. Singh who is locally here in Phoenix or we look into laser treatments. 

We are now in the process of looking into the laser treatments and also using Dr. Bauer in Chicago and seeing what we feel is the right thing to do for Brayden.  On Sunday we are having a nevus gathering here in Phoenix, and Dr. Price will be present and she will be talking about the laser treatments.  So we will be asking her lots of questions about that.

Brayden had his MRI today, he did good and woke up right away.  When he got up they gave him water and he didn't want that.  So Geoffrey feed him his bottle and he was a happy boy and even let out 3 big burps! The dr said he might be a little fussy for the rest of the day, but so far he has been fine. 

Now we wait for the results to come back and we send them to a specialist in San Fransisco and he will look it over to see if Brayden has it on his brain.  We do not want that, so please keep Brayden in your prayers
