Update

I will admit that I was dreading today. Hannah had specific instructions of what she could eat and how long before the MRI. She could not have formula or baby food after 4 am and only juice from 4-7. Then nothing after 7 this morning. I was dreading it because she really likes her breakfast. I set my alarm to wake up at 3 am to feed her one more time to fill that little belly as full as I could. I woke her up and she ate almost a whole jar of applesauce. She was so pleasant. How many babies are grinning at you when you wake them up in the middle of the night? She took her bottle and went back to sleep and then we were up again at 6:00 to drink as much juice as I could squeeze in her little body. She rolled around in my bed and drifted back to sleep long enough for me to get a shower. Then I put her in her walker, finished get ready, and gave her a bath. I figured a bath would occupy for a while. She likes to splash her legs around in the water.

Anyway, we had to be at Children's Hospital at 10:00. They were great and did not make us wait long. She got fussy in the car and I was thinking - Oh great, here we go? Now is my time to brag. I try not to brag about Hannah too much, but she is so sweet. Once we got out of the car, she did not fuss or scream. She was sitting, taking everything in, smiling and flirting with everyone who walked into the room. She had not eaten in 4 hours and she was the happiest baby. They only had to give her the smallest dose to get her to sleep. She fell right to sleep. They hooked her up to a monitor to check her oxygen level. She was sleeping with her head back a little and got strangled. She started coughing and gagging. I looked at the oxygen level and it went down from 100 to 90. I was so scared! Mom got up and opened the door to find the nurse. However, as soon as she quit coughing it shot back up to 100. I was a little shaken - literally shaking! After that everything was fine. She woke up and took a little bit of juice. She woke up around 1:30 and was ready to play. She drank a lot of milk and is now sleeping. I am so glad that the sedation part is over and I know that she is okay. Now I am just waiting on the results. I switched doctors and I have a feeling they are not as good as Dr. Edward's nurse, Melissa. She would have already told me the results. Oh well, I guess Melissa spoiled us. I should know in the morning - No, I will know in the morning. So I will post her results as soon as I hear from the doctor.

Wow, I have typed a lot! One more thing I failed to mention in my previous post - CONGRATS to Brian and Tina Maddox! They are expecting a baby at the end of July/first of August. I am excited that Hannah, Addi, Levi, and baby Kelsey will have another friend to play with at church!

One more item - please pray for my sister-in-law Jan's dad. He has Parkinson's disease and he is not doing good. Kyle & Jan drove to Kentucky last night. So please say a prayer for him today!
