Day of Delays


Today has been a day of delays from start to end. It all started when Maw Maw called to let us know that Liam developed a cold over night and that they would not be heading this was today for their visit. Poor little guy had a rough restless night and woke up with a rough throat and a barky cough. It's really hard sending get well hugs through the phone or via the Internet but we are doing our best to send them his way so they can come and visit Sophia soon.
When we got to the Hospital we were told that the MRI that was scheduled for Noon has been moved to 1800 hrs otherwise know as 6 p.m. we were also told at that point that there was another sterile procedure happening in the room on another patient so the room would be closed for a few hours. So we waited around for rounds and found out that her Nitric was to be done at 4:00 p.m. they were weaning her sedation medicine and that are going to put the longer feeding tube in tomorrow. When we came back after the room reopened, we hung out at her bedside until the crew came to whisk her off to MRI. We had a quick dinner and returned shortly after shift change at 7:30 p.m. She was not back yet from MRI so we headed down there and met them in the hallway when they where wheeling her bed back towards the RCNIC. She did very good in MRI except that she kept moving despite some PRN's of Versed (doses of sedation medicine). We finished out the evening with her and gave her a little snuggly elephant as a present for doing good with the MRI. She told us that she also hopes that her big brother gets better soon so she can see him. She thinks that she might have less tubes by the time he gets here so he wont have to worry as much when he sees her.
