Today was Parker's MRI of his spine. Parker, Oliver and I left the house at 7 AM to get to the hospital by 8 AM. His MRI was scheduled for 9:30, but we had to be there earlier because Parker needed to be sedated for the MRI study! Everything was going well! Parker was watching Cars 2 and relaxing after they gave him the versed (medicine that makes it easier for him to be separated from me). Unfortunately, we ended up waiting an extra hour and a half before they took Parker back for his MRI. The versed started to lose its effect and he was trying to get up from the bed. I had to keep him still once he was given the versed! This was quite challenging. Thankfully, Oliver took a nap from 10 to 11 AM which made it much easier to help try and keep Parker still! They used general anesthesia for Parker for this study. The MRI was an hour and a half long study! It was about 1 PM when the nurse came to take me to Parker's recovery room. We left the hospital about 2:30 PM! It was a long day!
We didn't get the results of the MRI today. Dr. Hagarty said she would give me a call as soon as she gets the report from the doctor who reads the MRI. We hope we get good news and everything is perfect with Parker's spine!
Oh Tricia, You've had so many Dr. Appts. Yeah I get it but we've had a bit of break. We are getting geared up for Jameson's surgery in May and Sallie's heart cath in June, and then we have some other things we need to get to--like genetics and continuing with a catch-up schedule for Sallie's vacs.
