Glad every place has been so good with Sam! Yes, I know very well how hard nights can be after holding back tics. I am amazed that she got through 45 minutes of the scan without any tics! Do not think I will be able to do that! The researcher explained to me that the imaging was going to be done in intervals of 5 minutes and that after every 5 min interval she would tell me when I could move, so I could get all my "wiggles" out before the next imaging portion. This MRI screening was obviously designed for people with Tourette's, lol. I am very excited for the study! :DRuthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04263546038404367476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921229166344581964.post-65924320006881446392012-03-24T14:54:52.518-07:002012-03-24T14:54:52.518-07:00Sam has had many MRI's due to spinal cord issu...Sam has had many MRI's due to spinal cord issues and surgery so again, she has taken them often. Every place has been very good - she could take breaks at any time she needed. Sometimes she was so determined to get through it that 45 minutes would go by with out any tics.. they always applauded her but as you may know, holding back tics often made for a difficult evening SO I am proud of you and excited for you and hope they find something soon!!!!!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329669931583596795noreply@blogger.com
