Today we left in a hurry for CMC because nuclear medicine called @ 9:00am to say anesthesia could take Grier at 10:00-- instead of 12:00! I jumped on the chance to get home quicker since Grier woke up asking to eat! We arrived at CMC @ 9:30-- checked in and the wait started--- Jeff drove from work early and I knew when 10 :00 passed we were in trouble-- Long story short-- we were told 20 more minutes all day!! And I asked Jeff if it had been 20 minutes yet and he commented about 4 times!
Well-- about 12:30 the CRNA (Caroline) came to tell us they were ready for Grier and everything else went fine-- we have had her a few times for other procedures so it helps to know a familiar face and not have to go into the story each time-
We got home @ 3:30 and Grier is playing and having a good time-- We will go back tomorrow @ 11:30-- not one second earlier and do the same scan again- I hope it is the right time because there have been several different times told to us-- but Caroline checked for us about anesthesia and she has 12:00-- So that is what we are going with since the scan can not be done without them! We also have to get labs drawn before 11:30-- so another busy day!
Still no word on last Fridays CT scan-- lately we just do the scans and wait and wait for some piece of information!

Wow, what a terrible two days you and Grier have had! Hope tomorrow will be a whole lot better and quicker for you both! Seems nothing can get Grier down and that is wonderful to hear. Keep on hitting those homeruns in the front yard, buddy -- you are winning the game! Hope to see Hayes and Grace at Open House -- probably not Grier with his low counts but we will miss seeing him.
Hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow.
Love and continued prayers,

Amy,
What a terrible way to spend your week...I sure wish I could make that better for you. Unbelieveable that your child who wants little to do with eating, finally wants to eat and can't...FRUSTRATING! I've been there so many times with CT scans and MRIs...seems they always have so many others ahead of you, no matter how old your child is. It is truly crazy; and sometimes it's better to know someone else has experienced the same painful wait that you have. I have just not to this extent and I'm so sorry Grier has had such a hurry up and wait kind of week.
I will be thinking of you both tomorrow and hoping the day goes a bit better still!
Lots of Love & Prayers...
Dina
Hi Amy,
Thanks for the updates...
I am praying for a speedy day today and tommorrow with familiar nurses and for the results from all this testing to get to you quickly!!
love Isabel :+}
Ditto everything Isabel said! I'm so sorry for all the long waits you've had recently! Hoping Grier has lots of time and energy to play and EAT today!
