Sun’s Almost MRI
Dec 13th, 2007 by Nola
Today Sun was scheduled to have her MRI. After a very, very long day, she did not have that MRI. I am too exhausted to explain. Plus, I want to stay positive. In the end, she had a CT scan. The tech stayed late for her and the doctor met with us before we left. (See, staying positive.) All appears to be as it should. Let’s all release our collective deep breaths. Oh, and no poop-a-thon for this medical procedure! We are relieved.
Sun is already down for the night. I won’t be long in following her. I wonder if my scratchy throat is a result of hanging out at a hospital all day.
Stumble it!
So all is well? Will there by a follow up MRI?
Moondance, I pray not another procedure. They feel we are fine. If I want to do the MRI, they’d authorize it. But I really feel it was a nap shake and am leaving it at that. I mean, let the babies that are having spinal surgery (as was the 8 wk old little fella next to us) get the attention he needs without the likes of us gunking up the system.
What good news. It was just a “Let’s make sure” procedure anyways, so now you can relax. I hope that you and your family can put it all behind you and enjoy a your holidays with a lightness of being.
Sending positive vibes over the lake to you and your family. I went through the ringer with child #2 so I can relate. Sun is lucky to have such caring parents:)
Hey NOLA. I have been so busy I have not been around blogger land much. But I am keeping you and baby Sun in my thoughts. Good luck with everything and Happy Holidays!
Nola, I know the frustration of the ol’ test switcheroo well. I’m glad you found something to stay positive about.
And I’d like to commend you on your attitude re: tests and not clogging up the system. When we were in hospital, I saw a lot of parents focussed pretty exclusively on *their* babies, which in some ways is fair enough. But it really bothered me that the surgical staff were so shocked that my response to having Zen Baby’s surgery moved back to accommodate a baby who was clearly in more life threatening situation was “of course!” At a certain point we do have to realize that everybody’s baby is important, and that we need to do all we can to ensure they’re ALL getting the best care possible. Kudos to you!
Thanks, everyone, for your support and kind words. It helps the whole situation!
