MRI

Maggie's MRI is done, but not without some struggle.
We arrived at 2:30 for her 3:00 appointment.
Here's how the conversation went when we arrived.

Heidi: "Are we allowed to feed Maggie if she gets hungry while we wait?"
Receptionist: "Well, I think so. Has she been sleep deprived today?"
Heidi & Eric: "What?"
Receptionist: "She is supposed to be sleep deprived for a whole day."
Heidi: "No one told us that. They were supposed to be sedating her."
Receptionist: "Oh, no, we don't sedate babies here."
Heidi: "But she is only 14 months... how is she supposed to stay still long enough?"
Receptionist: "If you don't think she will fall asleep on the table then y ou'll have to have your
Pediatrician sedate her and then come back..."

To make a long story short... it took over an hour to figure out what was going on. Finally the office told us that they would make an exception and sedate Maggie but we would have to come back another day. They wanted to try and do the MRI with Maggie awake first, though.
We were praying that it would work, but in our minds we seriously doubted that she would be able to stay still long enough.

SHE DID!

Maggie continues to amaze us and we are so proud of her. They strapped her down, put cotton in her ears, all while Eric was by her side. I couldn't be in the room because I am pregnant. Maggie cried pretty hard when they strapped her head in place and she couldn't move. But after a few minutes our precious little girl went to sleep. They were able to get all the pictures they needed and we are so thankful! We should hear results by the end of next week sometime

UPDATE: Our pediatrician just called and said that Maggie's MRI results were faxed to his office! Everything is completely NORMAL! Praise God!

Thank you, again, for your prayers and your love!God's hand was on Maggie the whole time and that's the way it has always been!
