MRI

Samuel had his MRI yesterday.  He was scheduled to go in at 11:30 for anesthesia and then the MRI was to start at 12:30.  He could have any solids after 3:30 AM and then wasn't allowed any liquid after 9:30 AM.  He was so hungry in the morning and was so sad when we couldn't let him eat.  Poor buddy did his best to still be cheerful, but having an empty stomach, being in a new place without Daddy, and having to go to the hospital makes it very hard.  Luckily Grandma is here with us!

When we got to the hospital they got us right back to a room, but there we were told that they were running behind.  We didn't end up going in for anesthesia until 1PM.  They had me hold Samuel as they gave him the gas to make him go to sleep.  That was very hard to do because Samuel didn't want that mask on his face.  So we cried together.  After he went to sleep (only a minute or so after the gas started) I placed him on the bed, gave him a kiss, and went to the waiting room....crying the whole time, of course. Two hours later they called us back into the recovery room.  The nurse was very good and called me back before Samuel opened his eyes so that he would see me when he woke and wouldn't be as nervous.  It went very well!  I love understanding and helpful medical providers!
