MRIs

Yesterday the boys' had their sedated MRIs.  We thought they did exceptionally well.  Jacob didn't actually go back for the procedure until 11:00.  These boys love to eat so we expected lots of tears.  We didn't get them.  They did the sign for eat a few times but other than that there was no mention of food.

The nurses were so nice and so was the Anesthesiologist and his team.   The boys were very friendly with everyone when we were in the preparation room(can't think of a better name for this room) but once it came to leaving this room they only wanted Mom or Dad.  I thought that was a good sign as far as attachment.

Caleb went first and woke up screaming.  They were not able to get the rest of Caleb's blood at the doctor's office so it was done after the MRI.  Fortunately they were able to get all they needed for Caleb.  Jacob wasn't so lucky.  They could not get the blood out of his arm so they had to use the main artery for blood in the groin area.  Sorry I can't remember its name.  They were able to get enough for all but one test.  His IV also had to be placed in his foot because they weren't able to get it in his arm.  We were greatly surprised that Jacob woke up peacefully.  He is usually the more high strung one but he slowly woke up and never cried.

Today we received the results.  Unfortunately the China CT scans are fairly accurate.  We will be taking both of them to a Pediatric Neurosurgeon.  We won't really know any additional information until that time.  At least we now know and can get them additional care if they needed.  Surprisingly I have peace with this.  God led us to them, it is not a surprise to him.  Nor is it really a surprise to us.  They are our boys and we are very blessed that God chose us.
