Mason's MRI and surgery

  I try to remind myself this quote everyday^
Mason had his 4th brain MRI last Friday, and he did so great for it! He had no problem with the anesthesia and was back to his normal self within a couple of hours. He is getting pretty good at these MRI's. What a change from the first couple he had, and not to mention what a relief! We will find out the results on Thursday afternoon, and off of those results, his neurosurgeon, Dr. Louden, will decide if he thinks it is necessary for Mason to undergo brain surgery.

Mason also saw his endocrinologist(hormone specialist) recently, and we received a phone call a couple days ago where she informed us she would like to do more testing because one of his hormone levels is low. It is his cortisol, which is the stress hormone, and it contributes to many things the body does such as eating, sleeping, getting better when your sick. Sometime this month we will know more about that.
