To keep everyone updated on Jackie's stuff she has... today she got an MRI. The neurologist at Primary Children's Hospital recommended it. She received an EEP last week in conjunction with everything. We went in early and sedated her, made sure she was asleep. After getting her all positioned correctly in the MRI machine (took 15 minutes) they started. Right after the doors shut to start the MRI Jackie held her breath and her oxygen levels dropped. The nurses ran in and immediately assisted her. It took them about 20 minutes to make sure she was fine and then I heard her babbling.
They started the procedure again with her slightly awake. One of the nurses stayed in with her to help put her back to sleep the "old" way (stroking her forehead). That did it and we got on with the MRI smoothly after that.
When it was done two hours had passed by since getting to the hospital. The Pediatrician with us said she needed to stay two hours after having the anesthesia b/c she had a reaction (the holding the breath). So we stayed till 10:45am. Wow what a morning.
NOTE: The reason for getting a MRI and EEP is because she is having small unresponsive episodes that are a concern. Like a seizure, they want to find the source of this.
Then after that I had an OB appt that I went to after dropping Jackie at home.
