Today, I took Charles to Children's Hospital Radiology Department for his second MRI. The purpose of this MRI was to see if there was this possible "cortical dysplasia". He was mildly traumatic as mom to see him go under for his general anesthesia. Babies get sedated so they can't move for MRIs. It took about 2 hours in total. He wore a gown, met with the Anesthesiologist, who held him in his arms with the gas mask until his gave up and fell asleep - only took about 1 minute but it seemed like forever. The poor dr. and nurses had to hear my version of "hush little baby" that my sister Sheila taught me...it goes something like this "hush little baby don't you cry, don't you fret, mamma's gonna stay right by my side"....more to come, gotta get to bed.
I am overwhelmed with emotion. What an ordeal for Charles, for you, and for your family. I SO wish I lived closer to help in some fashion. Amelia you are amazing! I am so glad you set this blog up! That was a lot of work!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, reading these posts & seeing the photos makes it seem much more real than just hearing it about it for some reason.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh my, my dumb little song - I made it up when Andrew was a baby because I don't know the real words! I always feel bad for any adult that has to hear me sing it! But I'm so happy that you could sing it to Charles.
It is amazing that he just went through all of this, and then bounces right back to a happy & energetic little boy!
