Listen "Inside his brain. What the MRI reveals and coping with it."
Episode Synopsis
Send me a Text MessageIn this episode, I wanted to talk about my son's recent MRI, and what it really means to the entire big picture. And I guess, what it doesn't. Thank you for being here, at the adapted life podcast. As with with my life, I am letting my intuitive thoughts and heart centered focus guide me as I unroll what "adapting" means to me. My hope is that someone out there will resonate with what it is like to be spending your life, keeping another precious human alive and cared for. In my case, it is my 25 year old son, who has a rare brain deformity. "It was a virus, that started this whole ordeal. What the new neurology guy calls “the original injury”. A virus called Cytomegalovirus. Or CMV. If you have not heard of CMV, you should have. Especially if you have been pregnant at any point, or know someone who is. The CMV virus is a common virus, spread by direct contact with infectious body fluids, such as saliva, urine, tears, etc. CMV is typically unnoticed in healthy people, but it can life-threatening for the immunocompromised, and also newborn infants. If a pregnant mother, like I was, has no immunities to CMV and is infected, the unborn child also becomes infected. This is the tragedy. For me, it was somewhere around the end of my first trimester, like week 11-13. Daniels brain formation was attacked by the virus. Or, the “Original injury”. "Every single day, its gratitude. I’m so thankful for the mri. For the medical teams. For the Medtronic rep who helped me. For coffee. For giggles. For a wheelchair repair. For a Sunshine filled morning. For friends. For family. For my own health. For music. For my treasures. For the ability to just let the problems not contain me. To know that I need to stop thinking so much, so that I can hear things. "With all my love and gratitude, I wish you light and blessings on your own difficult journey. Remember to have fun. See you next episode!
