The MRI is Over....

And we don't know when we get the results. I will call the pediatric neurologist on
Monday though. Children's Hospital is amazing. If pre teen has a grand mal in the night and I call the will put me right through. I can speak to whomever I need and they are so warm and kind. They know it's not fun for me or the pre teen. They adjust meds over the phone and send prescriptions. I love them. Done't get me wrong I pray all the time that we did not need them in our lives but if we have to have someone BC Children's is the place to be for us. NOW... we just pray that we do not need them any more than we already do.

So there was a little misconception when they got Pre Teen to agree to the MRI with no general anesthetic....yeah. Say what you can to get the kids to agree to it if it's necessary and once they get there they cannot back down. Well it worked anyhow. Back before Christmas we saw the neurologist at the hospital and they had concerns that Pre Teen needed the MRI ASAP but if we waited for sedation it would be WAY longer than if she did it awake. Soooooo being that our Pre Teen has sensativity issues from the seizures that she has one of them among many is chlosterphobia. Fun times. It's ok kiddo we'll buy you your favorite movie. So we arrive there and uh oh. The radiology nurse says I hate it when they make those promises to the kids. The part of the brain that they are trying to get pictures of they do not want Pre Teen's eyes darting back and forth and the DVD machine also causes some issues too. So anyone who reads this and is told that your child get's to watch a movie in the MRI machine at BC Children's it's a common misconception for neurology patients. I don't known about other parts of the body. It may not interfer.

Pre Teen said it wasnt as loud as she thought it was going to be. The only thing she said that bugged her was the itch on her arm and one on her nose. Otherwise it was fine. I'm glad we made it through with no general sedation.

Now with every fiber of my being I pray that we are just experiencing the run of the mill epilepsy and nothing more.

Time to figure out what the heck I'm going to wear to work.


Good times.

Teenage boy just says "Mom I don't think I have any clean clothes." who's fault is that son. Possible mine (teenage boy). Well son I guess you should wash some hey! hmmmmm.... (Teenage boy cleaned his room last night and probably put his clean and dirty clothes all in the laundry. Sorry about your luck dude.)
