Good News for Trace!!!

Trace had his 6th MRI on Monday (6/16). This scan was much more difficult than the ones in the past because Trace was no longer able to be sedated by oral medication. Because he is older and weighs more, he had to have an IV...one word-HORRIBLE!!! I can't stand to see him in pain, although thankfully he was so brave and stopped crying as soon as the IV was in place. Pretty soon he was asleep and the sweet nurse rolled him down for the scan.

On Wednesday (6/18) we went back for the results of the MRI at the neurosurgeon's office. I was a bit more nervous about the results because we have noticed Trace holding his back right around the sight of his spinal opening and just didn't know if he was doing this as a habit and somewhere to put his hands, or if there was something new going on with his back that we didn't know about. Well, God certainly answered our prayers and calmed my fears when the Dr. walked in and said that the scans look great! The tract still shows no signs of being attached to his spine...and if you remember, this was a miracle in itself!!! The Dr. felt comfortable releasing Trace from his care after two years of MRI's and follow-ups. That means that unless we notice something unusual, we no longer have to have MRI's!!! Yeah!!!

We give God all the praise and glory for Trace's healing. We will never forget the miracles that He performed through Trace's little body and will always be thankful. It's so nice to see a Dr. proved wrong, as he cannot explain the wonderful results to us, yet we know that there are just some things in life that are not explained by modern medicine but by the great physician and healing hand of our mighty King.
