Today I had someone call me from Akron Childrens in regards to Jacob. I was told that there is a new radiologist to their hospital who has been to some pretty notable hospitals around the country. She wanted to do a case report on Jacob's MRI history. The radiologist stated that he was a rare case and you do not see many cases where they have a fetal MRI. It is even more uncommon to have two MRI's while in utero. She thought it was very interesting how the brain changed and developed so much between imagings. The radiologist wants to do a case report so she can teach others across the country about fetal brain development and about the changes that can take place during this time. She will not include our names but will discuss medical history behind Jacob's case.
Shawn and I discussed this situation and will let them go ahead with the report. It only validates to me that this is a rare case as we have been told previously by both Akron and OSU. Also, if it gives other professionals a chance to learn from this, than more knowledge on it the better. Who knows, maybe one day down the road it will help another family gain an understanding on their unborn child. Maybe it will give other parents answers that we were desperately looking for during our pregnancy.
