MRI

Early start today (for Holly) as we had to be at Addenbrookes for 10am. She was not impressed with having to get out of bed by 8am and in typical teenage style took quite a lot of encouraging and coaxing to get up and about.

The first test today was a hearing test. This is a routine test for children having chemo as one of the side effects is hearing loss. It was very quick and easy (even though the lady doing the test was obviously more used to dealing with much younger children and spoke to Holly like she was 4!). Holly passed with flying colours, with even better results than her previous test.
It was then MRI time. This can be very daunting as it is very loud and quite claustrophobic. It is Hollys 3rd MRI so she was not too worried. I was informed in no uncertain terms that she didn't need me to touch her face when she was in the tunnel and I could just sit and watch. It takes about an hour in total and she was very quiet. I couldn't believe it when she came out and had actually been asleep! OMG it was so noisy, yet she even had a dream about Eastenders!

Blood results were all good so we don't need to get them checked again until next week. Holly is very excited that nothing is going to interfere with her disco on Friday so she is very busy. Outfits to organise, accessories to match etc etc....

I am so very very proud of how well she has done today. She has showed great maturity in everything she has dealt with, and carries on dealing with. Well done baby.
