October 21 - Day 13

We received the MRI results this afternoon. Compared to Chloe's last MRI, the scans showed that she has an increased buildup of fluid around her brain. The MRI also showed some new, but small areas of infarct/strokes (damage) to her brain. Still unknown to the team here is if the swelling around her brain is contributing to her seizure activity. As it stands now, neurosurgery has been consulted to determine whether or not surgery is needed to correct this excess fluid. If surgery is needed Chloe, will most likely go sometime this evening.

Please continue to pray for our baby girl and keep her in your thoughts. It has been a hard day of news for us and we need all your strength to help get us through.

Rethier, Michelle, Olivia & Chloe
