MRI and results

Sierra had an MRI of her right shoulder on Friday October 6th.  She took 10mg of Valium about 30 minutes before the procedure and it went GREAT. Best MRI experience yet.  She needs the Valium to hold still and deal with her anxiety/claustrophobia.  1st mri that she has been able to hold still. The MRI was done at Blue Valley Hospital in Overland Park, KS.

Tuesday October 10th Sierra saw PA For dr. Lasalle, Chris something- he told her the MRI results are a complete full thickness tear of her superspanadeus ligament in the right shoulder.  A cortisone injection would only help for a week or two. Recommended a referral to orthopedic surgeon Dr. McMurry.  Chris couldn’t believe Sierra was still functioning at all with her right arm.  He said that kind of tear puts full grown men completely out of commission. So sad, just means she is so used to being in pain that she can continue on doing what she needs to do.  My poor warrior girl.  She is scared for major surgery but we will get her through it.
