Journal entry by Kimberly Webb —
Thursday the 11th, Mom and I went to MD Anderson for the MRI for my brain (because of a migraine I had over a month ago) Everything went smoothly and I got the results the next day when we met with the Doctor. Everything looks good. They want me to see an optometrist the next time I go so they can check and make sure there is no swelling on the brain that they can’t see by MRI. Of course we’re not worried because if there was swelling, I think I would have had some more headaches or migraines, but I haven’t had any. But they like to be thorough. I met with the cardiologist before my treatment and he was not worried about my slow heart rate. My first EKG it was in the 60s and this EKG it was 47. But I’m young and active and I don’t have any symptoms. If it gets any slower or if I start having symptoms, we will look into doing something. Right now, we have a check up appointment in 6 months. Mom and I got coffee for this treatment and I watched Ant Man and Wasp and never went to sleep and my heart rate never got below the 50s. Next treatment is scheduled for May 9th!
