Riley is out of MRI

I'm going to make this short because somebody is standing behind me waiting to use the computer. You'd think an eight year old iMac wouldn't be in such high demand, but then you haven't spent much time at UCSF.

Riley is out of the MRI, it went fairly quickly. He was sedated and we had just enough time to walk across the street to Starbucks when they called us to return. Riley is awake and can finally have food and drink. He hasn't had anything to drink since 5 a.m. and hadn't eaten anything since yesterday at dinner time.

We have a call in to Dr. Tarnoff for the results. He'll need to speak with the radiologist first so me might not hear anything today. When we speak to him we'll also ask about the potential timing of surgery. Originally we were told it could be Thursday or Friday of this week.

Riley was weighed today and is down to 33 lbs. He was 38 lbs. two weeks ago and 41 lbs. when he was admitted (most of the difference when we were admitted was due to fluid accumulation).

We anxiously wait for the results, as I know you do. Glad Riley can have something to eat now, poor little guy. Hope you all get a good rest tonight. We love you all, Grammy and Wayne

Glad the MRI went well. We wait for updates as we finalize everything for our move into the house on Sunday! Love you and miss you! Wish we could be there. Hope Carter is getting better!! Love, Auntie Karen and Stephen.
