OT - MRI on Monday - freaking out about anesthesia

[Guest guest]

Hi Mom's, doctors, doctor moms, and others,

My Son has a MRI scheduled on Monday - he is just shy of 3 years. I am

really scared about the anesthesia - they won't use chyloral hydrate

at this hospital so he is getting some type of gas.

I am nervous because he has bit of a cold, stuffiness and I know this

increases the risk of the anesthesia. The nurse said to bring him in

and the anesthesiologist will make the call - but I don't know this

doctor - just whoever is there at the time.

I don't want to take any risks. Yet, my son is in pre-school so he

basically perpetually has a cold or is on the tail end of a cold or a

sniffly thing it seems. He needs the MRI because he's had an abnormal

eeg and I don't want to continue to wait (took over a month for this

appointment) -aaahhh!!

Anyone with any experience, words of wisdom, good thoughts for me?

Thanks, na Piccillo
