To my huge surprise there are children who happily lay there for the MRI while their mother (who is wearing a suit!) looks on lovingly, without a trace of angst on her face:
In fact the MRI is SO MUCH FUN, that other kids line up for the darn thing:
I suspect however that Miss Eliza will not be one of the kids screaming "pick me! pick me!" to the MRI Technician. Instead Eliza's day will look something like this:
A fun day to be had by all!
I just spit wine out (a crime, I know) because I am laughing so hard. That is a great pictorial. I do not envy you, when Libbie had her CT scan a few weeks ago, we actually had to strap her down. What fun!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I will say some prayers that all goes smoothly!
I just saw Libbie's poor head! What a faberge egg. Eliza had a CT scan when she was about 15 months and I swear the guy used duct tape.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and wishing you all the best for Saturday..

Those first pictures are so funny! I've got to take babies into MRI's sometimes, and I hate it.
ReplyDeleteTry not to worry too much, Miss Eliza won't remember a thing about it. With toddlers they almost have to put them to sleep in order to get them to stay still with all of that darn banging.
We'll be thinking of you guys, and praying that an answer can be found.
Cora, do the parents often get all dolled up in their best business attire for the MRIs? I was thinking shorts and a T-shirt would suffice!
ReplyDeleteI do suspect that Eliza will need sedation just to get the IV to give her the sedation for the MRI.
Thanks Leyla! Hopefully we'll meet you at the park soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing myself silly! I'm thinking of you guys. Take Valium - yes, I mean for you
ReplyDeleteI love the kids just hanging out on the MRI machine. That's my idea of fun, too.
If that is the case....she will look just like Grace. :0) Seriously...I can't see Gracie laying still for one of those...ever!
ReplyDeleteGood luck...will be thinking of ya!
Bree gets to have an MRI soon due to some jittery movements and poor head shape development....I am right there with ya...I don't plan on dressin up in my "best" for her MRI...capri's, t shirt and flip flops will be my attire!
ReplyDeleteI do not know if this is true everywhere (like if there is a technical reason for it) but at "my" children's hospital the MRI place is COLD. Maybe wear a snow suit.
