I'm counting down the hours until I can call for Owen's MRI results...
Owen was amazing as usual, taking everything in stride. This was his second time having an MRI w/ general anesthesia and everything went smoothly except that he needed a
breathing tube since he had labored breathing. When I was brought
back to sit with him in recovery he still had the tube inserted, in which the nurse told me he would cough out when started to wake up. He did and as I was unwrapping the tubes from around his ears to help to remove the tube he groggily says, "Done Mama." He then holds up his arm with the IV and says "Off." Shortly after he is sitting up on the stretcher eating graham crackers with a sippy cup of milk blowing the nurse kisses and saying "Bye Bye." Listening to the many other kids being tested that day, the crying and complaining... I think I would be a wreck going through all of this...but Owen is just his normal self on these days. He doesn't really cry or fuss, he plays during the 2 1/2 hr. wait before the test giggling and flirting with the nurses and wakes up ready to roll...leaving me no time to even be weepy. He is amazing...
