Guest guest Posted May 19, 2002 Report Share Posted May 19, 2002 Glad to see you're still with us Jill! Please let us know when you get Tommy's results in! Kendra Re: I'm here after all Well the CAT scan went fine. When I got there, they told me that I should have kept Tommy up all morning since 7AM (it was 12:30 at the time) and that the sedation wouldn't work. WRONG!!! It took 5 minutes and he was snoring.The CAT scan was a little scary to watch; I didn't like seeing Tommy all tied and bundled up. I got to see the images as they popped up, though, and I was startled at how assymetrical his face really is! I never really look at him that way anymore since he's so cute regardless. :)His lower jaw is the worst. The left side is much smaller. I am a little concerned now that it will require further correction. I am keeping my fingers crossed.They also did a couple of spinal and cervical (the neck) Xrays. I guess my Dr. wants to make sure there is no abnormality there, either. At least I only had to deal with Tommy. He was a little terror until the sedative kicked in. Then he was a little floppy. ;)As of today, he is still a bit lethargic. I am going to find out just what they gave him so they can give less if there ever is a next time. His reaction to the drug was a bit extreme. Babies are supposed to be really sleep-deprived before the drug is given and even then it is supposed to take an hour to kick in. I will let you all know what the results are!!!Jill Ramos, Las Vegas, NV For more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
