Thomas' MRI is today!

Thomas had his MRI Today: Feb. 11th, 2009
Kosair Children's Hospital



Here are pictures from Thomas' big day getting his MRI.

He has to have both legs and both ankles scanned. The radiologist thought he saw an abnormality between the right and left leg during the bone scan, and decided to have an MRI done to rule out any soft tissue damage.

The first time we were scheduled to go was the Tuesday of the big Ice Storm, so we got cancelled.

So, we were re-scheduled for February 11th, 2009.

He brought his Star Wars characters and got all set up in his cartoon room. This first picture shows him watching Nickelodeon, waiting for the lady to bring in his sleepy medicine to drink.

They didn't do his IV until after he was very "Drunk" as she called it. He was very very giggly and then basically asleep with his eyes open.

He then slept through the entire MRI, which lasted about an hour and 15 min. He was allowed to sleep an additional hour and ten minutes after he was brought back to our room, but we had to wake him to leave for home, due to the wind storm! They thought there was a tornado heading our way. It ended up splitting down the middle and going north and south of us; all we got was rain!
