MRI and Surgery Dates + Chiari Malformation?

The dates are not official yet, but we are looking at the following:

Monday, June 25: MRI and office visit with Dr. Tuite in St. Petersburg;
Tuesday, June 26: Surgery with Dr. Tuite and Dr. Ricalde at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg.

I think that we will be able to stay at a Ronald McDonald House there, as we will end up being in St. Petersburg for most of the week.

The MRI is being done to check for chiari malformation. If that shows up, then treatment for it may be needed. I probably won't do a whole lot of reading on chiari unless the MRI shows it, as I understand that the way it presents itself can vary wildly and will just cause me to worry.
