Jordan's MRI Tomorrow

Jordan will be going in for an MRI of her brain tomorrow. This was recommended by Dr. VanDyke, the pediatric neurologist and ordered by her pediatrician, Dr. Koetsier. She will be unable to have anything to eat or drink after 7:30 am. We will need to be at the hospital at noon for a 1:30 appointment. She will be sedated for the procedure. Derrick will be unable to be there due to limited vacation time and because he will be attending her evaluation next Thursday with Dr. Burdo-Hartman and her team as well as needing to have surgery on his other foot before the end of the year (he had the first one done in January). Please pray that Jordan is okay without eating for that length of time - dehydration is our biggest concern for her on a daily basis and removing all liquids for 9 hrs or so increases her risk. Also pray for the radiologist and nurses that will be performing the procedure - that everything goes smoothly and they see what they want to. Also pray for our family as we will all be doing different things - Derrick will be at work, I will be with Jordan, Mak will be doing some chores around the house to get ready to go camping for the weekend, and Conner will be at our house with a babysitter. It is also Derrick's Birthday and hopefully we will be able to celebrate it at some point later in the day!
