Madison's MRI

First Madison's blood pressure and pulse ox are       taken (with the help of her bink and daddy bear)

next she coats her mask with a flavored       chapstick (sedation gas stinks, and the       chapstick is supposed to help cover the smell)

then she waits, and waits...

I always take in and "help" get her settled,
this time she was holding her breath so
getting her to sleep took a bit longer then usual

she is finally out, and ready to begin the 45min MRI



then she is brought back to her dad and I to wake her up (with the help of oxygen)



she's never a happy girl coming out, and this time we left her IV in because
last time she got sick (i had her IV take out      before she was awake
and we could give her anything to help)
this time she was fine and told our nurse that      her IV hurt really bad and asked
to have it taken out shortly after waking up



her reward for doing so great - A quick stop to      Toys R Us to pick up Woody
