kelli's story
On Nov. 6, 2006, Kelli had another brain MRI with additional imaging and contrast, additional blood testing, urine testing, and a lumbar puncture. On Nov. 8, 2006, our world was shattered when the Pediatric Neurologist called us into his office to tell us that he strongly felt that Kelli had some form of Leukodystrophy but needed to do another blood test to confirm which one. After waiting for almost three weeks, on Nov. 27, 2006, Kelli was diagnosed with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy.
