Diagnosis...

Violet's been diagnosed with severe childhood migraines and has an MRI scheduled for as soon as my insurance will allow it (which is in 7-10 days). After that we should know more, but the doc is pretty confident it's just this and that she will eventually grow out of them. He gave us some migraine-specific medicine that she can take at the onset of the episode (which, thankfully, she had at the office so he could see exactly what he is dealing with), and it usually takes effect within 15 minutes, which is exactly what happened with Violet. So things are looking good for her! Thanks for your prayers. She is feeling much better this afternoon.

Check out Open Sided MRI! I was just there today. It's WAY better than a regular MRI machine, especially if she's the least bit claustrophobic.
