CT SCAN

It was Tuesday morning and we left the house at 7 am to be at the hospital by 8 am. It was an interesting car ride because Jessica is use to having a morning bottle. So mommy sat in the back with her to keep her busy.When we arrived there we were checked in and got a room.I asked her nurse if they were going to have her drink some stuff for her ct scan and he said,"yes". So I said maybe you should order it because Jessica is ready for a bottle, now I didn't know how well she was going to do because when she had her first ct scan she did not want to drink that stuff and it took forever for her to drink it. Well this time it was much easier she almost didn't care what was in her bottle she just wanted a bottle. So she drank half of it pretty quickly but then she wanted no part of the rest, so we had to wait about an hour then she started to fall asleep so I stuck it in her mouth and she drank it. Then they were ready to take her in so I carried her because she was sleeping. When I put her down on the bed in the ct room she woke up and started to freak out. Jessica was having no part of it and she was not going to cooperate. So they said we have to go back to our room and they are going to have to sedate her.We were not very happy about that but what can we do. So we had to wait two hours till her fluids went down then they would sedate her. It didn't take much time for her to be out. By one o'clock we were back in the ct room it went really smooth. By 4 o'clock the nurse came in and said he had to wipe her face with a wet wash cloth to wake her up. He did and she woke up but for only a minute. Then he brought her a bottle of pedialite to see if she would hold it down and she did so then about forty minutes later he brought her a milk bottle and she held that down as well so they let us come home.Now waiting for the results..!
