The first time we stayed a bit longer, since it took him 45 min. to wake up,

and since he was only 2 months old, they admitted him and we stayed overnight

for observation as a precaution. The second time when he was 6 mnths old we

stayed for maybe an hour and were sent home.

Ok...thanks for letting me know what to expect. It only took him about an hour to wake up?

I think it was more like half hour. The first time it took longer, and I remember it being about 45 min.- so the 2nd time I know was less, probably a half hour or less. He was a little groggy, but drinking lots of fluid (yeah, they are hungry when they wake up!).

Taryn,

The IV was put in so that in case of any emergency where they would need a

line, they are already hooked up- at least this is what I was told. I don't

know what the drink tasted like, they just said most kids don't like it- and

you could tell he didn't care for it! It was given to him with a oral

dropper both times as I recall. I had a little problem with the nurse the

second time, they wanted me to come in at 12:00- his MRI was not until 1:00-

so when she told me no liquids after 8 am- I told her if his MRI is not until

1- than I can bump that to 9. For some reason, she was not comprehending

this. I told her that I was waiting till that last minute for fluids,

because they did that when he was 2 months old, not fun to have an overly

hungry baby. She argued with my logic, and I told her, if the MRI will not

happen until 1- then I have up to 9 am for liquids. She was very rude over

the phone and I was so ready to give her a piece of my mind when I got there,

but she was so overly nice that I almost threw up! So, if paperwork is an

hour (give or take), than make sure your feeding time is scheduled

appropriately for 's little belly.

I talked to the nurse today and she said no fluid for at least 4 hours before her procedure...that's going to be rough on all of us. Her MRI is at 10 a.m. so we can't give anything past 6. I plan on waking her up around 5 so she can at least eat a bottle and have something in her tummy. Thanks for the info on how long it took to wake up.

Was very groggy the rest of the day?

Taryn,

You know, its been so long ago everything is getting fuzzy (never thought I would feel that way!)- I think he did sleep for a nice long nap- but I wouldn't say he was drugged up acting/looking for the rest of the day.
