Re: Delylah's CT scan appt=(

[Guest guest]

,

Oh what an awful time you had with Delylah going through that- I know how you

feel having to see in 2 MRI's- he was bundled tight but he was

sedated. I can understand how they felt that sedating was not the answer

either, I am told its also a risk putting any child under (as well as adults

for that matter). I know that at times, seeing my child pricked with needles

(couldn't find the vein!) I felt so guilty like here I think I know the best

thing to do for my kid, and is this it? It's only normal to feel that way

when we see our kids in distress, but just know that Delylah will not be

traumatized or remember that moment, and you are doing this for the greater

good- keep the big picture in mind, your doing this out of pure love for your

daughter and this is the route that has to be taken. Good luck to you with

the casting, please keep us posted, and give little D big hugs and kisses

from us here with an extra big squeeze from ! )

I am sorry your experience was so bad. We haven't had to get a CT scan but I hated having one at 22 years old so I can just imaging how scary it would have been for Dee!!! Our PT told us that the reason they cry is not because they are in pain...it's just they are being held down and don't like that because they want to be up and moving around. My chiro friend that was checking her tort out made her cry so bad and I just wanted to grab her away from him and hold her and tell her everything was okay. I know he wasn't hurting her and it was just making her uncomfortable being held in one position but as her mommy I felt she was screaming to me to save her. I can totally relate. I bawl when she gets shots and I can imagine I will bawl when she goes to the neuro on the 26th. Did you get any results back yet? Please keep us posted.

Delylah's CT scan appt=(

HEy everyoneJust wanted to update ya on D's ct appt. It was a little scary. They didn't put D to sleep, they decided to just hold her still, body wrapped where she can't move. One nurse held her head still while i tried to calm her down & hold her legs. the other two went back & took pics..i wonder how they can get her shot with that one nurse holding her head. D was crying all through it!! IT WAS TERRIBLE!! Once the machine started spinning, i felt like she was being experienced with. it just started spinning faster & all she did was look at it & cried. I know that they thought it would be better for her to not take the sedation but it was terrible ..i don't know how to explain it..i guess i was getting a little dose of what's to come when they cast her. The ct scan lasted no more than maybe 3 mins. they had to do it twice. It was pretty scary. all the while she was staring and crying; i was thinking that she WILL NOT remember this. Gosh, i HATE going through this; all this time i think i know what's best for her. Oh yeah, that one day with the pd. neuro. was bad too. Did anyone else's pd. neuro. made bb cry? Now that lasted longer than ct scan, but with the thought of her strapped from shoulder to leg & crying is just sad; she even managed to get one of her hands out of the full body strap, i had to hold it so her hand won't come out.-maryFor more plagio info

Thanks Taryn,

that is very true, she wanted to get up and move around. Yeah, you

know she was looking at me too to save her...well, i'm partly

glad that she didn't take the sedation (like i screamed for the

epidural & didn't get any=) )

I haven't got the ct results yet..i'll be heading over to the pd

neuro's office tomorrow so just hopefully he might have looked at it.

I hope everything goes well on the 26th; we did have a very nice pd.

neuro. tho so hopefully yours will be friendly and outgoing also.

It makes your heart sink, doesn't it, when they are pleading with you to pick them up and you feel like such a heel for not doing it. Don't sweat the small stuff. You are doing this because you love Delylah and that is all that matters in the world. I had a bad experience with an epidural so I can't offer you any condolences on not getting one!!! I pretty much made it through without any pain relief even though I got an epidural..it kept wearing off and the catheter was totally out of my back by the time I had my C-section. Good luck on the results and please keep us posted. I hope everything goes well also and I get some anwers. Thanks for the support and advice!!

,

That does sound pretty terrible. You're right though, Delylah won't remember any

of it. About one year ago was in the hospital with some undiagnosed

infection. It caused her to be unable to walk so after two days of fever and

almost no sleep and the lack of ability to put any weight on her legs they

ordered a bone scan. It took four adults to hold her down perfectly still for

about 10 MINUTES!!! It was horrible. She cried and cried. Then, to make matters

worse, it didn't turn out right and we had to go back down AND DO IT AGAIN!!!

Still, she had forgotten all about it by the time we got her back to her room. I

guess it was kind of nice not to have her sedated, but it is torture to watch

your baby cry and scream and have to help hold her down. I'm glad that part is

over. I think the casting will be MUCH less traumatic then the scan. Hopefully

the worst is behind you.
