Tess is going to head in for an MRI in a little while. She'll be under general anesthesia to keep her perfectly still during the process. It'll take about 45 minutes. After that, they'll keep Tess under anesthesia while they read the results.
Depending on what they see in the MRI, we could go a couple ways. An OR will be ready and they may take Tess in to aspirate the swelling (meaning they'll stick a needle in the lump to sample what's in there).
And then depending on the results of testing that fluid, they may need to open up her hip to drain it.
So it all depends on the MRI.
Dr. Booker is here and they've rearranged the MRI schedule and OR schedules to accommodate Tess. We're extremely impressed with Children's.
