Strange MRI, Biopsy to Come

Adrienne finally had the MRI of her hips on Monday evening at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital. On Thursday, she saw the orthopedist who did her surgery last December. The avascular necrosis is healing nicely, is not causing her pain, and she does not need additional surgery. The MRI results were strange, showing an area of abnormal activity in the bone marrow of the pelvic bone. However, no one is quite sure what this abnormality is except that it needs further exploration. So, after seeing a surgeon today (yes, another doctor), it was decided that Adrienne would have a biopsy of the abnormal area this coming Thursday. Under general anesthesia, they will take 4 or 5 samples of the affected area. We won't know any more until early the following week. Hopefully there will be an explanation (and solution) for Adrienne's pain. Since she won't be having surgery, she is going to visit her friend from college in St. Louis later this summer.

In the meantime, we are starting to clean closets and drawers in preparation for the move. Curt's company will pack for us (phew) so we just need to get rid of the things we won't be taking. We had hoped for a garage sale this weekend but the rain is putting a damper on that. Oh well, we still have 5 weeks until our move.
