Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Hi everyone, It's me again, I'm not too sure about what to do, my son(almost 9 months) is supposed to get a meckel scan done on Wednesday, however, they want him to go NPO for four hours prior to the procedure, then it will be another hour, or longer before he can eat. They want to do pictures with him being still for 45 minutes, but I know he's not going to do that. Will five hours be too long? He is also getting admitted into the hospital for an IV on Thursday, because of surgery on Friday. I hate to put him through having IV's that close together but I'm not sure what to do. The doctor's really don't look at the NPO thing as a big deal if it is less than 6 hours? So I don't even know how to get him an IV if he needs it. Do you guys think he needs it? If so, any suggestions on how to get it. Hope someone cen help me, I'm pretty lsot in this whole thing. le (mom to Datreon 8 1/2 months, 11lb 10oz, probable RSS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
