Waiting for 3 hours at the hospital to see the doctor for the results of Naomi's MRI.
After waiting we found out that Naomi does indeed have NCM.
We are very thankful for the pediatric neurologist, Dr.
Kate, and the team of doctors that she brought together to help Naomi. Dr. Kate
went over the MRI results with us. Naomi does have NCM (Neurocutaneous
Melanocytosis), a complication of multiple congenital nevi (multiple
birthmarks), a very rare condition. The MRI showed two very small spots of
extra melanin on the brain, and a possible extra spot behind the optic nerve.
There are no extra melanin spots on her spine! She also had a EEG which showed
no problems.
But Naomi was not happy about the EEG... she just wanted to sleep!
And she finally did, the last 15 minutes we were at the hospital!
