The MRI Experience
We got up at 5:45am so that we could be at Kosairs on time this morning. Everything is going well and we make it with time to spare. Lauren had not been allowed to eat or drink anything at all since she was going to have to be sedated. On the way there she asks for a piece of gum and not thinking I gave it to her. When the nurse asked if she had anyhting to eat or drink, we remembered the gum. "Lauren spit out the gum." I can't, it's in my belly!" So, her test got pushed back eight hours so that we could wait for the gum to digest!. It was great fun telling our child that she couldn't eat anything for eight more hours! When we went back to the hospital to get the MRI done we were quite entertained by a very slap happy four year old who was so relaxed from the medication that she couldn't even sit up straight and just giggled for an hour! At least now we know that when she is under the influence she is quite happy. :) It took her a while to come out of the sedation, but she seems pretty good tonight. Hopefully we will have results within the next few days.

Oh my goodness!!! I can't believe it got pushed back 8 hrs., because of one piece of gum!! I would have been very upset about that!!! Sounds like you guys handled it well. Praying for the results.
I neglected to post Pauls reaction to that news! It wasn't pretty! Lauren handled it well. We thought about rescheduling for another day, but we were all so tired of waiting...
Ha! Dying to know Paul's reaction to the gum!!! :) It seems like they should have a little "gum snatcher" for stuff like that and not have to postpone for 8 more hours!!!!!!
I'm praying, too!!
