liam’s day at sick kids…
liam spent the day at sick kid’s hospital a little while ago. he was there to get an MRI. we’ve always been a little concerned about the growth and proportions of his head and he is prone to headaches, so this test was to assure that everything is growing and developing typically.
Liam was to be sedated for the test. not a general anestetic, but an IV sedation. we had no idea how awful that would turn out to be for him. but, i’m getting ahead of myself, here.
so, we took a cab there. liam was thrilled to see it was a minivan cab.
sick kids hospital is world renowned for it’s research and treatment. and it really is a beautiful place. here’s liam in the atrium.
in the waiting room they had a teeny tiny MRI machine that the kids could look at, climb in and get to feel comfortable around. liam and i were both extremely amused!!
fooling around while we waited.
giving us the finger.
he said his ‘coupling broke’
hiding in the linens.
after that fun came the hard part. liam hated being sedated and fought it hard. he took about 20 minutes to go to sleep and cried and struggled the entire time.
still sleeping.
waking up.
he was very unhappy when he woke up. they warned is that he would feel ‘heavily intoxicated’ for up to the next 24 hours. well he did. he couldn’t walk, he couldn’t even sit up straight. he screamed and fought and hated every second of it. it took at least 4 days for him to feel back to normal.
but don’t worry, he recovered in a couple of days!!
and a cute picture of kaya just for fun!
and i’m happy to report that the MRI was totally normal!
