happy happy

this is the face...


...of a boy—a happy boy...


...a happy boy who had a 6 hour nap!

———————————————————————

things went exceptionally well yesterday for ryan's MRI. he was only the slightest bit crabby due to no breakfast and no lunch. we got to the hospital at 12:30, got signed in and registered, and then ryan went to get his IV put in his hand for his sedation.

that went great too, considering we had to wait 40 minutes after he got the IV in for him to be put under. he wasn't very fond of the big "owie" in his hand, so he kept kissing it to try and make it better!

ryan finally went back for his MRI, which lasted about 50 minutes, and was just waking up when i got to his sedation recovery room afterwards. in the 5 minutes that he was awake, he made sure the nurse took his owie off of his hand, whined about the blood pressure cuff on his leg, refused anything to drink, and then zonked out in my arms.

when we got home i cuddled with my sleepy baby for a few minutes, then I put him in his crib where he was beyond conked out until I decided to wake him up at 7:30pm. as i was forwarned, he was quite tipsy from his sedation hangover when I got him up. he stumbled around the living room like a newborn foal trying to stand and even after a couple hours he still didn’t have his sea legs back. but that stand in the way of his appetite—he ate a good dinner and was ready for bed!

all in all it was a successful day. thank you all for your prayers—i will definitely post when i hear the results next week!

I'm so glad! I didn't only pray for good results, but for the hunger not to bother him much so it was an easier day for you!
