The Morton Family Blog

Thanks for taking time and stopping by and reading our family blog. As a family of 6 we are busy and hope to encourge everyone to understand that everyone is different in his or her own way and that people shouldn't be looked at for their size but for their selves. Our youngest daughter Jalinn was born with dwarfism and we hope to raise awareness for the Little People community.

MRI and the Results

We had Jalinn's 2nd MRI done about a month ago and it went well.  We had to wait for a couple of days before we got the results from the neurosurgeon.  I went to the neurosurgeon appointment by myself with thinking that there was nothing that needed to be done.  Well I was wrong!!!  We found out that Jalinn needed the decompression surgery done with 3 months.  I wanted to get a second opinion to be on the safe side of things and the doctor at Children's Mercy was upset that I wanted to get that done but I thought screw him I'm doing it anyways. 

I got in touch with Dr Pauli's office in Madison Wisconsin and told them what was going on and they requested the scan from both of Jalinn's MRI's.  It took about a week to heard back and they said that say she needs the surgery and it needs to happen now.  So off to Madison, Wisconsin we go.
