Today started out early with our first appointment at 8:30. Ricki was checked in at the University of Utah for her EMG. Ricki is so Brave! I was just sick watching as she had the EMG done. BShe did request to play some Disney music to keep her mind focused on something else other them poking her with needles and shocking her to see if the nerve would react. She has become pretty amazing with her breathing techniques as she deals with her pain. We met with the neurosugeons after and they EMG showed she did have nerve damage in about half the nerves they tested. Ricki walked out of her appointment with a smile on her face.. There is hope for some relief from her pain. She is in good hands with Dr. Bollo and Dr. Mahan. They both agree the tumor needs to come out! It is kind of sad to be excited about surgery.
