The Results

We all hustled around and arrived at the hospital on time. I was amazed at the job the staff did with him. They gave him an oral sedative and numbed his hand where the IV went in. They were able to slip the IV in swiftly. Then we were rolled down to the MRI room. There they gave him the sedative in his IV. The first dose caused him to hype up a bit and he thrashed in my arms. They warned me of the possibility of that happening, but it still scared me. Then they gave him a second dose and they got the test done. Then we went back to the room where we waited for him to wake. Our other three children were real troopers and behaved very well while we waited. It took three and a half hours for him to rustle around and that was primarily because we nudged him. He threw up on the way out the hospital, into the doctors office and on the way out of the doctors office.

The doctor was very dramatic the way he dealt with this. We all sat down waiting for him to come in. My son was curled in my lap, thrashing a bit. The doctor put up the images and looked at them in front of us. My oldest said what we all were thinking. "Doc is there anything wrong". We all wanted to know the minute the first film went up. I just sat there imagining him pointing to something and saying see this. My tears welled, somehow I held them back. Finally he turned and said the images were fine. We are dealing with severe Migraines and my PA will go over a plan with you and get him on a preventative. It was probably a good thing my son had a bit of sedative in him because I don't think I have hugged someone so hard in my life.

When we got home he was in almost a drunken state until the next morning. He thought he could walk and wanted to but he was wobbling all over and it was very hard to keep him down, but we did.

The next morning I hugged each of my children a bit harder, looked in their eyes a bit deeper and told each how much I loved them.
