After getting up at 5:30 in the morning the kids were able to see Kaden at about 4:00pm. He was sent over to Primary Childrens Hospital (connected to the U of U Hospital by Tunnel) for a CT scan of his head. The Prelimanay results of the test are not very promising. In addition to the enlarged ventricles, he may also have a complete brain defect in which the bumps on the brain appear to be smooth. The outer part of the brain is what controls our ability to give us personality, move, communicate etc. Without it we are Vegatables. We are awaiting an MRI to get better detail of the brain. Having the kids see their brother helped to give us a little closure in the event that he passes. All those who "need" to see him have now done so. All others who will get to see him is a pure bonus. We feel so blessed.
