Westen had his EEG yesterday morning – the test measuring electrical activity of the brain to ensure that he was not having or at risk for seizures. Results came in and he had a normal EEG with no increased risk of seizures!! While Westen (peep his cute hat) and mom were not fans of this test, there is finally great news to share, and he is one step closer to being cleared for transplant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, September 11th, Westen will have his MRI\/MRA and echocardiogram. Prayers and thoughts are appreciated that these test results come back the best way possible. As always, thank you for the support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
