MRI

carson had his first mri yesterday.  we're used to getting our regular ct scans but that is a quick in and out and then we're done and we get the results right away from his doctor.  the mri was totally different.  carson had to be sedated through an iv for this.  he was all smiles and chatting up the nurses till they stuck his hand with that needle.  i can't blame him though, i HATE getting iv's.  hate them with a passion.  but after about a minute of crying and asking me to make them stop (stab me in the heart painful) he was fine.  then after about a 30 minute wait we walked back to the mri machine. once i was back there with him on the table i could see the anxiousness in his sweet little face.  he was not so sure about all of this.  fortunately before he could really get too upset or anxious they gave him his sleepy medicine.  he went from telling me he didn't want his pictures taken to passed out cold in a matter of seconds.  i was grateful for that but in the same breath it's no fun seeing your baby knocked out.  i wasn't allowed to be in the room so i had to wait for about 45 minutes till they brought him back to me.  best.  feeling.  ever.  give me back my boy.  about 10 minutes later after a few pokes from me he woke up as said he wanted to go to target and pick out a toy and that he did not like the room with the big camera (mri machine).  i'm not going to lie, i didn't like the room either.  it's a very scary feeling.  so we packed up and headed to target.  a treat for carson and a treat for mom ;-)

we won't get the results for a few days but really it was just a baseline for the doctors to have because of his seizure he had a few months ago.  she said she really wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary so that's what i'm going with.  nothing surprising.  just carson's awesome brain!

iv started and all better

done and done and a wagon ride to the car

i don't care what is going on or what stress we're dealing with.  this sound right here makes it all better.  and the fact that her two big brothers are the reason she's laughing make it even better.
