MRI update

September 20th, 2006

The Radiology Department at Children’s called this afternoon.  They had a recent cancellation and will be able to schedule Anna’s MRI earlier than anticipated.  We’re all set to have her MRI on next Thursday, Sept. 28th in the afternoon.  As I think I mentioned in my previous posting, this is a sedated MRI.  They have to sedate her because there is no way that a 6 month old will be still for 30 seconds, much less 45 minutes!  I’m nervous about the entire thing, but I feel better knowing that the test will be done at Children’s.  Like anyone going under anethesia, she can’t have solid foods 8 hours before the test and breast milk is allowed up until 4 hours before the test.  I imagine she’ll be one hungry chick when she wakes up from the anethesia!
