mri today

Andrew had his MRI today and it was one of the longest days so far. We got to the imaging center at 7:30 in the morning and our appointment was at 9 am. The Anesthesiologist got there at 8:45. After 7 attempts to put an IV in him we decided the best thing was to use gas and then find the IV later. So it was off to the hospital to get admitted. At this point Andrew is so upset from hunger and being poked 7 times he is screaming. We go to the surgical ward and wait for another hour because out time for the MRI machine had come and gone. So now it is 11 am and we head back to the MRI center where they begin the scan. The whole scan took 45 minutes and the
Nurse said they got some good images. We had to go back into the hospital to the post surgical ward and wait for the drugs to wear off. That only took about 15 minutes because they kept him in more of a twilight state vs. fully under. So our day that should have only been a few hours took 6 hours. So now we wait……..
