June 9, 2006 Repeat MRI day

This would mark Zack's second MRI. Because you have to remain still for this test (a baby obviously wouldn't) he had to be sedated. The thought of this still makes my skin crawl. He was allowed NO food for 10 hours pre procedure (poor guy)...take my food and I scream and I don't have a baby's metabolism. He was checked in and given an IV and then we were told he would be put on a breathing machine (precautionary). Zacks MRI took about one hour when they came to get us. He was fine but we could hear him screaming for food. I sure couldn't blame him. I only wish I had more than Similac to put in that bottle. He was such a little trooper. He never fussed once. After watching him for about 2 hours he was free to go home. The results were good...no change. That basically means that the old damage was still there of course but that there was no new damage either. So good...we keep doing what we are doing at this point.
