X-Rays are Easy!!

Well, actually, they are very much NOT easy! We had a little bit of a trying experience today. Drew had allergy testing done this morning at Dr. Haltom's office.. which, by the way, is not too much fun, either. He wasn't allergic to anything. Then, Dr. Haltom told us he wanted Drew to have a CT scan of his sinuses done at Baptist. Well, his nurse called Baptist to schedule us an appointment and lo and behold, they told us to come right over, that they could do it right now! Well, we should have known better than that! Actually, we didn't have to wait too long. We had to go through the whole admissions process, Drew of course hated the bracelet on his arm. Then, we finally got called back for the scan. Only one parent could go, so I went with Drew. Let me just say that this was a difficult experience for all those involved. They put Drew on the table, swaddled him up with several sheets and blankets (arms by his side), put his head on the "bean bag" tray and strapped him over his cheeks and forehead. By this point, Drew and I are both crying, but Drew is wailing, screaming, etc, etc. So, I try to talk to him about Elmo, Zoe, Barney, comparing this to riding a wagon (?? I know, it was a stretch) any, or all of the above. When it was finally over, what seemed to be an eternity, I picked him up and he finally calmed down. Well, his reward was a sticker that reads "X-rays are Easy!" I mean, really? Not so much. I hope that we don't have to do that again anytime soon!
