Max's MRI 15th June 09

Max had his MRI today , it went well, I dropped the girls to Mums last night, Hannah had the day off school, which made it so much easier, so Hannah and Kaylee had a sleep over and they were very excited about it. Mum said they were very good and not 1 fight! so that was great, Shanaye was there too, and usually when the 3 of them get together, and them all being Scorpios, they all want to be the leader LOL

I dont often have to get up at 5.30am ............we left home about 6.30am, I just put Max straight from his bed into the car, all rugged up, he woke up for about 5mins, but once we started driving he was asleep again, he had to fast from 3am so I was worried he would be crying in the car on the way up cause he was hungry, but he slept the whole way. we got to the hosp around 8.30am and then went onto the ward, and they were running late, as hospitals do, and our 9am appointment time ended up being 11am, but around 10am Max started to get cranky and hungry, so I just tried to distract him with the toys and looking out windows, and he did very well.
when they put the mask on him to anesthetize him , I got a bit of a lump in my throat, they asked did I want to kiss him before I left, but I couldn't, it would have made me 'really' cry, then I had to wait about 45mins for him to be scanned, they were giving free back and shoulder massages for patients and staff, but I couldn't find the room so I missed out, I just went to the cafe and had some lunch, and then went to the waiting room, and I was there about 10mins but it felt like an eternity......................then 1 of the nurses came and spoke to another parent and I asked her if Max was in recovery yet, and can I just go and wait by his side rather than in the waiting room, and she went in and asked and then came straight back out to get me, so that made me feel so much better................it was so funny watching him wake up in recovery, I really wish I had got it on video! it was like he was drunk. he was giving all the nurses his cheeky smile, we were all laughing, and they said they how nice it would be if all babies came out of recovery like Max did. and I felt really good, all of the nurses came in to see Max, all at the same time, and they said to each other, come in here and look at how happy this baby is, hes so cute, meanwhile on the other side of the room theres a 4yr old throwing a tantrum on the floor! and I kinda thought to myself, I bet the mother of that child wishes she was me LOL, if only for a little while LOL. good confidence boost anyway.

the Dr came in and went through the scans with me, and showed me all the different parts, so I pretty much got the results, and she said there were no signs of any abnormalities and the cyst/tumor thing had completely gone,,,.....................such a relief to hear that, and I just about cried, and Dr bye noticed and rubbed my arm, and you know how if you are upset and somebody touches you it makes you worse, I had to try and laugh a bit so I didn't cry LOL.......such a sooky la la I am. LOL

we left about 2.30 and then I drove to Mums to get the girls, and we finally got home about 5pm, and the girls were exhausted because they fell asleep in the car, and I put them into bed when we got home, they didnt wake up. Max had some dinner, a bit more than usual, I think he made up for not having any breakfast! He went to bed around 8.30 and went straight off to sleep, hes so good............I dont know how I got so lucky
it really is a weight off our shoulders...................
