Payton's 18 month scans...

Today was Payton’s 18 month scans. We were scheduled at 6 a.m. (the first scan for the day). I was really hopeful that meant that we would be in and out quickly. Payton was able to do his CT scan without sedation and was a little scared at first, but did a great job. Payton did well going under sedation. He received his “giggle juice” and they actually waited long enough that it worked well when the anesthesiologist arrived to put him under. Usually Payton panics, but today he wasn’t nearly as nervous. In the past, I don’t think they have waited long enough; so now I will be sure they give him at least 20 minutes to allow it to kick in. He was done with both his CT and MRI by 9:30. It was a little harder than usual for Payton to come out of anesthesia. I was getting excited in hopes we could get out early and about 10:00 when we moved him to the wagon to take him to the car he starting throwing up. The anesthesiologist decided to keep us a couple more hours so they could monitor him and give him some anti-nausea meds. Payton spent most of his afternoon trying to regain his appetite and strength and finally this evening he is back to himself.

Our H/O appointment is tomorrow at 8:30 and we are really anxious to get good news about his results. They also did numerous tests on his blood work today, so we should find out the results from those as well. Now the question is if I can sleep tonight? Off to try.
