She did fine.

Excellent! Hope it comes back good, and conclusive with a diet solution for her! Good luck to you all.

Shi just got back and seen the post and me and Hool's prayers are with all of you .And all will be fine .

Prayers for you and your family, I hope everything turns out well. My niece started having episodes similar to what you said and started having memory problems. It turned out to be an extremely rare condition called anti nmda receptor encephalitis.

Todd,
I too am Praying for you and your family. I know personaly that Prayers work. And IMO, if we ALL pitch in and stick togather on this, things will work out.
As Mwalton7 says, other than Prayers and Moral support, if there anything else you can think of that we can help you with, let us know. None of us (I don't think) has any money laying around collecting dust, but togather we could help if we pool our resources.
Even with GOOD insurance, it only goes so far, so don't be bashful. If you need help, let us know. I realize I'm maybe speaking out of turn, by saying everyone here will help, but I believe most of us are willing.

My thoughts are with you and your daughter...

Shiloh, I just got back on the internet here in NJ after the storm and wanted to say I'll be praying for your daughter, as well as you and your family. I hope it turns out to be a minor issue that can be corrected with a diet change. Having 3 children of my own, one of which has some medical issues, I can understand how a father feels when their child has a problem of this sort.

Sometimes we are given challenges and crosses to bear in life, but they seem to have the effect of making us see some things in life a little differently, usually for the better. Keep your thoughts positive and encourage your daughter and family to do the same. Most importantly, never let a chance to tell her how much you love her, slip by.

I just noticed your post. Hope everything went well. And the test results come back favorable.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Hope all works out. This can be a great family- we are here if you need it.

Thanks everyone. The Docs. gave the MRI images to my wife on disc and warned her to not look at them and find things to worry about. The Docs. will get back to us after they do the professional look. But, my wife being a shrink knows enough about brains to know much more than the lay-person does about the images so she was studying them last night and pointing things out. I admit to being somewhat grossed-out by the incredible detail of my daughter's head as she scanned through. It even shows tiny pores in the bone cross sections. Laurel was enjoying it all of course. The wife is a little concerned about 2 things. In the center of the brain is a cavity that looking front to back is supposed to be "butterfly" shaped and contains fluids. Well, her right side is perfect but the left side is not the mirror image that is supposed to be of the right and is much smaller, sort of oval shaped. That might or might not be something to worry about. The other item is a small white spot at the very back of the brain. It is roughly pea-sized and visible at different angles so it is not just some sort of annomoly but something actually there that is not brain. Now we just have to await the call from the Docs. On the plus side we did find out with definitive proof that yes, my kid does indeed have a brain. So, we told her, she has no more excuses and must learn to use it.

ROTFLMAO! Asking a lot aren't ya?!? ;-)

Prayers still headed your way.

Prayers still coming your way Shiloh for all of you.

Shiloh,
I know you know this, but don't get worried and upset just yet. Wait for the Official report, and take it from there. Just my thoughts, but I figure if all us got the same MRI your daughter got, we would see things we didn't know about.
Some of us probably have some blank, empty spaces, that haven't been discovered yet. That's why we are called Air-heads.LOL.
Keep a positive attitude, and your spirits up, and let your Daughter know everyday how SPECIAL she is. Our children are gifts from GOD and sometimes we don't appreciate them like we should.
GOOD LUCK and keeps us up-to-date.
GOD bless you and your family.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers folks.  The Drs. looked at the images and saw the spot we could see as well as 2 others.  But, happily for now they say these are infected areas that are inflamed and not the dreaded "C" word.  What causes the inflamation they do not know but it could be as simple as a reaction to diet so that is step one, to reduce the carb intake and gluten which often is the cause of kids getting these sort of things they say.  This is good news for me as well since I feel better and lose weight when low-carbing it and the wife has never been on-board to help me out before.  Her response when I gripe about her making cakes and cookies and muffins and pasta is "you don't have to eat it."  That's about like telling a coke-head he doesn't have to snort it even though you lined it out for him and left him alone with a straw.  So, since now her lil girl needs to low-gluten it all of a sudden it is important enought that the wife is researching the diet.  Anyway, we will give it 6 mos and schedule another MRI and see if things change.  The wife will also keep a log of the seizures so we see if they lessen or increase at all.  It'll be a major lifestyle change for the kids since virtually everything kids eat is high-carb.  I did the good-dad-deed and ate all the chocolate out of their Haloween buckets so she can't accidentally get into that.  That's what good dads do, right - take one for the team?

Yep that's what good dads do, already took care of that dreaded dead here . Hopefully diet gets it taken care of, will keep ya'll in my prayers.

ya gotta do what ya gotta do to protect your family! Good man!

Seriously, good luck to you guys.

Shiloh,
Don't guess ya thought about us OLD TIMERS who don't have any young ones at home to bring Candy to us. Can't believe you ate the Whole Thing. Didn't even share with us. Hope ya got a belly ache.LOL.
You know we are still here for you. Happy to hear that it wasn't what it could have been. Our Prayers will continue until they're not needed anymore.

Shi, Its that I follow from house to house, for hours begging for candy, of coarse I get half it is a candy tax.
