MRI done!

UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF POST:

We are back and the MRI is done. Long day - little sleep the night before. Ashley could sense the tension and got little sleep - same for Jenna and Tim and me. I did get some sleep. Bless Tim's heart. He took on the kids. We JUST got home a few minutes ago. We got there at 6:10 AM and left after 10:00 AM. She did fine and didn't even cry over the fact that she had not eaten or had anything to drink since 7:00 the night before. I know she was starving. I have pictures of her in a little hospital gown but I am just wiped out! The news is all went well and she DOES have to have surgery. I NEVER thought I'd be cool hearing that a couple months ago!! I am and here's why...The surgery will not be through the brain like was one of the options but instead it will be cut out from the front between the eyes. More being put under, she will have a scar but it will fade considerably because of her age, and they want to do it in July. More later on everything. I wanted to share this though - I cried and prayed last night after Tim went to sleep. I prayed for "the peace that passes all understanding" and I got it. I was fine this morning and was able to sleep - but just a little thanks to Ash. I was completely at ease and at peace as we waited over an hour while she was sedated, having the MRI done and brought back awake. Thanks for all the concern, prayers, and support. It means the world to me. We will all need more come the surgery!

UPDATE:

I guess I was unclear and I have had some questions. I was frantic and tired and am still tired. Ashley has a cyst and the MRI was to determine if it was going to grow outside the brain, inside the brain or both inside and outside the brain. These cysts are slow growing but they do grow. Not good between the eyes. If it HAS to be one of the two choices and not "just a bump" (as I had hoped before) that can remain there, then I am glad it is OUTSIDE the brain because this surgery will be merely superficial and cut out - not brain surgery. It will be outpatient and sometime in July. Will let you know the date when I know it.
