Not AGAIN!!!

Well, we arrived at University Hospital this morning promptly for Emma's CT scan. When the radiologist called me back he told me "I just want to inform you...the neuroradiologist believes Emma needs a 3d CT scan. If she isn't perfectly still she will need to go downtown to have it with sedation." I knew then it was probably a loss cause. But we did attempt to try because I just couldn't in good faith agree to put her under sedation unless we knew it was absolutely neccessary. Maybe in hindsight we shouldn't have tried...but I guess that is just one of those mommy decisions you have to make and have no regrets.

Immediately when I put her head in the plastic holder thingy she screamed bloody murder. I mean I'm sure the pregnant women on the 3rd floor heard her and had seriously thoughts about abandoning labor and going home. She turned red as a tomato. Her little tongue was going back and forth like you see in the cartoons. She would look at the radiologist and scream...then look at me with the saddest eyes as if to say "Why are you torturing me!" It was definitely a hard moment. So, needless to say, we abandoned the effort after about five minutes of trying.

I called the neurologist office with my not so nice personality and told them I needed the appointment rescheduled ASAP. A very nice lady called me back from Charlotte Radiology and we have an appt next Thursday at Northeast. I must say everyone at University Hospital and Northeast has been so kind and helpful. The neurologist office - kind but not so helpful. Boo them. I'm already dreading next Thursday as Emma will not be able to have food 8 hours before hand. I am sure she will be just a ray of sunshine without eating :/
