Re: Bad Neurosurgeon Follow Up Appt.

[Guest guest]

Dian-

Dane got an MRI when he was 2 days old. He needed to be sedated and

intubated for that. It was only tramatic for us! He didn't care.

My friends daughter got ear tubes at 8 months. She said the only

time the baby was freaked was when she woke up and didn't realize

where she was. She calmed down after 2-3 minutes.

Good luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Dina:

I hope all went well & you have negative results. Please let us know
