I admit to typing out the post below because it was distracting. I love my kitties fiercely, yet it can't even compare to how I feel about my three human children. I've been trying to pray, trust God, and not worry too much. But my beautiful daughter is having an MRA and MRV tomorrow. She's had a venous malformation on her left arm for about three years. A year ago, they did an ultrasound, and we needed to keep an eye on it. Her arm then measured 7.5 inches.
A few weeks ago, I noticed it had grown significantly. I was able to talk to the nurse, who fortunately had the doctor walk by while she was on the phone. The doctor told her to work us in that next week. Sure enough, it was 9 inches and much harder than the last time. Dr. T is not sure what the reason, possibly a blood clot. She ordered the specialized MRI to be done in the next few weeks. I think my therapist mind sometimes knows too much, because it's hard not to think of what "could" happen. I know that worry won't do any good, and it won't help the situation.
Tomorrow we go in, and she will be sedated. Grandpa John has kindly offered to come watch the boys for us, and Mark took the day off of work. Your prayers are appreciated! We see Dr. T on Friday, and should get results.
