MRI Still Not Complete!!

Thursday morning we attempted the MRI once again. We tried it with a different drug for sedation. Rachel fell asleep fast and we thought it went great. She woke up halfway through the scan so they couldn't complete it. I know that this sounds pretty incompetent but they didn't use the anesthesiologist to do either sedation. Most people don't have problems with these drugs. When she woke up we didn't have enough time to knock her out again and they couldn't give her anymore barium to finish the scan. It was very frustrating!!!! On Tuesday we have another scan scheduled and she will be put under by an anesthesiologist so all should work well. Her brain scan was complete when she woke up but nothing on her spine. Her spine is where they can measure growth best because they can use the tumor. All we know is that there is no new growth in the brain but the cancer cells already in existence may have grown a little. We won't have any definite answers until Tuesday so we are still hoping that the cancer has stayed the same.
