MRI



Yesterday was Brayden's MRI to image the cyst on his spine.  We checked into the hospital at 8:30am and we left at close to 3pm.  It was a tough morning and resulted in a long day, but he made it through like a champ and by about 5:30pm we had our little boy back.  Anytime you put a 21 month old under anesthesia, it's a scary process.  His momma was in the room while they put him under (they only let 1 person in the room), and that whole thing shook her up pretty good.  It's tough watching your baby go limp as he's crying because he's scared.  The above pic was before he knew what was going to happen and you can see him cheese it up for the camera behind his pacifier.  Anywho, he made it through okay, and the nurse said he did a great job, so we are proud of our little man.  He had a hard time coming out from the anesthesia, but we got some juice down him and got him home to "sleep it off."  Not sure he slept too much, but resting in his crib did him some good and by dinner time he was back to his old self. 

We sure do love that little guy and watching him experience pain and fear is not fun for us, but we are hoping his results come back with good news and that our Lord has removed his cyst for us...but only His will be done in our lives.

Thanks!
DD
