Yesterday McKenna had an appt with a new neurologist, one that specializes in the severe head pain she has. After 5 minutes the dr. wanted to try nerve blocks on her. That entails 4 shots into the back of the skull into the nerves that are raging with pain! I was so proud of McKenna........through her tears she said " if Caleb could go through heart surgery then I can do this"!
Yes, it was horrible for her. Yes, it was horrible to watch, but within 5 minutes the pain in the back of her head was gone. Her migraine is still a 9/10 but the severe pain in the back of her head was gone!
The block only lasts 5 hours and she went to bed before it wore off so I'm not sure what today will bring, but we will be having a more permanent block done within the week!!!!
