A 'Normal' Baby Brain...

The hospital gave us a CD of all the pictures they took of Ty. I thought it was cool so I posted it for all viewing pleasure...

The MRI...

Today was quite a stressful day, but it couldn't have gone better. Ty was a trooper, and even though he was hungry he smiled and laughed the whole time. He even did good getting the IV--he just did his little whimpering cry he does, and right after it he fell asleep. It was hard to see him under sedation and hooked up to all the wires, but at the same time we felt so comforted from the many prayers and fasting in his behalf. We were in the waiting room for about an hour while they did the MRI and then they took us back to see him in the recovery room. As soon as he woke up I got to feed him and he was back to his usual self smiling and laughing again! I am so happy that everything went well and it is over with, and the best news is that his MRI came back normal, so for now, nothing to worry about. Ace calls it a "very expensive peace of mind"!

Here he is waiting for everything. As soon as they put that little tag on his foot he grabbed his foot and played with it the whole time!

After the IV...so sad

Just waking up...

Such a long an exhausting day! Thank you again to everyone for their prayers! And a special thanks to Blake & Erin for watching our other crazy child all day long!!

Ty

I'm sure most everyone knows this by now, but I wanted to make sure. For the last month and a half or so Ty has been doing this weird flutter thing with his eyes (the official diagnosis is "downbeat nystagmus") where his eyeballs flutter up and down sometimes. We had to take him to an eye specialist who told us that it is related to the brain stem. That sometimes the brain stem isn't growing properly. He has ordered an MRI to be done on his brain tomorrow to figure out if it is a problem or not. Ty can't eat for 6 hours prior (eating is the one thing this boy will get mad about so this is going to be a problem!) because he will be getting an IV and have to be sedated for the procedure. We have had great support from all of our family and friends (even Elder Williams), and we are praying that everything goes well tomorrow, and that we can find out what is going on for little Ty. I will keep everyone posted as soon as I know anything. We are so grateful to everyone for all the prayers and love we have recieved.
