Update: Bex had her MRI yesterday, and she was a brave girl! She stayed so still with absolutely no medication or sedation! After her scan, she had her biopsy. She was not feeling good after coming out of anesthesia and did get sick when we finally got to a room. Her hemoglobin dropped a good bit, so that meant an ultrasound last night and then another this morning after another drop. We are staying another night to get IV antibiotics and will hopefully go home tomorrow with a plan going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were surprised with this special sign from our church family when we got to our room. It made Bex smile so big and my heart swell with gratitude. She couldn’t wait for me to hang it up in her room! Thank you Ellie Everett\ud83e\ude77 We love you guys and continue to pray for you every single day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bex is feeling good today and happy to get her mac and cheese she loves so much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep praying!\ud83c\udf3b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
