I'm sorry to post again asking for help ,particularly after my recent absence from the boards, but I wondered if anyone had any advice. As some of you know I have a 2 yr old ds with cerebral palsy and am very used to him having to visit hospitals etc! This time the problem is with dd, aged nearly 8 ...... For the past 6 - 8 wks she has been suffering with very bad heads and exhaustion. To cut a long story short, Gp has tried migraine medication - no help - and last wk referred her to a consultant. Much to our shock the hospital rang us the next day and spent 2 days taking bloods, coordination tests etc. We have now been told that they want an MRI done 'as a matter of urgency' Apparently she will have to stay totally still for about 15 mins. They said 7 yrs and under would be definite general anaesthetic, but cos she's nearly 8 they hope she can stay awake. Anyone had any experience of this ?
