Just wanted to give a quick update - it has been another 3 months since our last MRI and CT scan - so the Gilmore clan made the familiar trip to Primary Children's Hospital this weekend. Paige had the tests on Thursday - and the whole experience was TONS better than previous ones. First of all - in the past when we went for tests, we have had to wait between 1-2 hours before the sedation. This might not be so bad if Paige hadn't been fasting all day and has a few of my genes in her. We are SUPER cranky when hungry!!! Anyway - this time - there was a little tykes police car in our hall and the hour and a half that we had to wait seemed like 20 minutes - it was SOOOOOOO nice! Sorry for the blurry picture - she wouldn't hold still for the picture.
Paige didn't even fuss when they put the IV in - she just flinched a bit - I don't know if that is good or bad though. I don't like when she cries, but it makes me think she is used to pain if it doesn't hurt even a little bit. She likes the pink "cast" that they give her and even teased the nurse by pretending to drink out of the IV. Her personality has been really coming out lately. They gave her a "prize" out of the treasure box for being such a good patient - she chose sidewalk chalk to share with her sisters.
They gave her a new medicine this time - and I really liked it. She woke up right away after the tests and wasn't nearly as uncordinated as with the other medicine. Still a little cranky - but it didn't seem to last as long as before. We had to wait until our appointment with Dr. Jones on Friday to get the results of the tests. GREAT NEWS!!! The tests all looked normal - we are so grateful! Here is the little tyke in front of her favorite horse - sure do love this girl, cheesy smile and all!
We celebrated the rest of the weekend by going to Lagoon - I have lots of pictures to post about that trip - hopefully I will have a few minutes to do that sometime this week.
