Time for Prayers Again, Please

You guessed it - Oliver is going to the doctor for another procedure. He is having a MRI as a follow up to his EEGs. He hasn't really done any of the twitching, but the doctor set this up a while ago. I feel like we should go trough with it since it should hopefully put the issue to rest, and also because an MRI will show if his hydrocephalus has gotten any worse. Since we still have no shunt, it is good to know how things are looking. Of course, since he doesn't show any signs of hydro, seeing it on the MRI would be disturbing because we would be left with a tough decision: if he has hydro but it doesn't seem to be causing any problems, do we leave it or fix it with a shunt? And, of course, the MRI requires sedation, which I HATE. It makes me so nervous (and usually causes some wheezing) every time. We are going to a local hospital, and he has never had anesthesia there. But I'm sure they know what they are doing...

So you can see why I am asking for prayers. Little or big it, it doesn't matter, I know God listens to them all :)
