MIBG scan

mobilestander2-11

So, good news and bad news.

Kendall's echo results are in. Her heart is perfectly fine. That's the good news.

Bad news, her metanephrine levels are still high...so they have scheduled a MIBG scan. Click the link for more information. I couldn't even begin to explain it. All I know is it is another test. One that will take up two days of our Spring Break, and also require me to give her nasty tasting drops by mouth daily. Good times ahead!

The Nephrologist is concerned about possible tumors on her kidneys. Pheochromocytoma to be exact.

I am not concerned. My gut tells me everything's fine...and this is just another thing to rule out.

So, that's what we will do.

I agree with Debbie - mom's instincts are usually spot on! I hope that the are in this case, and there is no evidence of tumors on her kidneys.
