MRI

On March 9 I took Tommy to his pediatrician because he kept shaking his head no. His doctor was not sure why he was doing that so he ordered an MRI. So that Thursday morning we went to the Children's Hospital to get the scan done. We were nervous wrecks!! After we got checked in they put an IV in. Baby Tommy didn't cry at all! He did much better than his daddy and I. We then took him down to radiology. This seemed to be the longest walk because we didn't know what to expect. Once we got down there they put him on the table and Tommy and I got to stand next to him and hold his hands while they put him to sleep. That was the saddest thing I have ever seen. No child should have to go through any of this. He was in the machine for 25 minutes. Once they were done we went to the table to get him and he woke up before we could even pick him up.
After the scan was over we went back to our room to try and feed him. We had to stay for 3 hours after the scan was done so they could monitor his vitals. While we were waiting to leave his pediatrician called and told us that the ventricles have grown since the CT and that there is more fluid in the back of his head. So needless to say we were heartbroken once again. He then told us that our neurosurgeon would call us later that day or the next morning. So we went home and waited for someone to call so we would know our next step.
