A Clean Bill of Health

I realized that I really haven't posted much on here about Kinslee's recent health issues. For about the past year, she's been experiencing migraines. They start in the late afternoon and ends up throwing up, falling asleep and waking up fine the next day.

She would experience these about once a month, but this past fall, she about 3 or 4 in a month, which prompted us to take her to the doctor. Our family doctor referred her to a neurologist.  The doctor spent about 2 hours with her and concluded that she didn't think there was any major thing causing these headaches, but she ordered an MRI to make sure that things were ok.

Kinslee had her MRI a week ago and did great! She was able to lay still through the test and did not need sedated. The children's hospital did a great job making sure she was comfortable and she even got to watch a movie through goggles during the test.

We just got a letter yesterday saying the test came back normal and we are so thankful! We seem to have the migraines under control now. We give her medication at the first sign of a headache. We also make sure she eats a well-balanced diet and keeps her eating on schedule. All of these things working together have really helped cut down on the amount of migraines she is having.

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for helping us get the migraines under control, for answered prayer during the MRI process, and for peace of mind & patience while we went through this!
