Today little DK is having an MRI scan to look at his brain and inner ears. Apparently the head develops in 2 halves in the womb and the cleft palate that he has is caused by the halves not joining correctly. The doctors want to check that there are no other problems that can't be seen inside his skull. Whist they are looking around anyway, he has also asked that the structure or his inner ear be checked as well. I don't think they can or will do anything regardless of what they find but apparently the information would be useful.
The down side is that being 9 months old means that DK is not too good and staying very still and that is a prerequisite for MRI scans. consequently he is being given a general anaesthetic which will almost certainly be the worst part of the whole thing.
We'll get the results in a couple of weeks.
Hope it went well & daer little DK didn't hate it all too much.
