I can't even imagine

What I will do if this MRI comes back showing something. This weekend we had a bit of a scare with Princess. She woke up on Saturday and said that I had two heads. Thinking she was just being silly---I kind of brushed it off. Well, she continued. Saying I had 4 eyes, 2 noses, Roo had 2 heads, etc. I looked closely at her eyes and they just looked weird, ya know?? One eye was focusing straight at me and the other was turned towards her nose. Almost like she was cross eyed. I had Mulley come and take a look---His response was, "That just isn't right!" Note to self--never go on WebMD to look up something that concerns one of your family members. It just freaks you out. I called my mom---always need mom's opinion. She recommened an Opthamologist. Well, they wanted her to come in immediately--thank goodness we live 2 minutes away--because neither of us were dressed yet. They ran a series of tests. Princess preceded to tell the Doctor's assistant that " she had two heads side by side" and when the assistant turned around, she told her, " Oh--now one head is behind the other. " I know Princess had no clue what everyone was making a fuss over and actually thought it was kind of funny. The Opthamologist explained that it looks as though Princess has some strain on her sixth optic nerve. Usually it's caused by migraines, vaccinations, or an illness. Well, McKenna did complain of a headache on Monday. I never even gave thought to a 5 year old getting migraines though. I'm still not sure if it was. The Doctor recommened us to a Pediatric Neuro Opthamologist and most likely they will do an MRI. I'm worried and scared. Hoping for the best and scared that they will tell me something that will shake me to the core. What will I do, if her MRI shows that something is there??? I don't even want to think about it.
