First MRI (attempt)

February 8th 2011 
We headed to Spokane to the Inland Imaging.  Alexis was given 5mm of Valium for her MRI.  We got there early.  And the Valium was making her sleepy.  However, we had to wait.  I didn't know if it wore off or just wasn't strong enough.  It came time to go into the tube and she was awake but sleepy.  They laid her down and put ear plugs in.  Put a foam pad next to her head.  And this thing went over top of her head.  Then they put a washcloth over her face, covering everything but her nose.  And IN she went.  They did get a little bit scanned.  But unfortunately, it was too scary for her.  They pulled Alexis out of it & tried to calm her down.  It worked and we proceeded to scan again.  And about 3 minutes later, she was in tears, wiggling and crying!  So, out she came and we had to end it there.  They were very sweet and gave her some McDonald's coupons, a toy doggie that looked like Misty!  And a stamp, I think.  
They tried to reschedule the MRI once again.  But this time, we have to go to Sacred Heart Pediatric Surgery Center.  They will have to anesthetize her this time.   After a long, complicated few days, we got her scheduled for February 23rd.  I told them that they needed to put us on a cancellation list. 
WAITING!!!!!   And Friday, the 11th I got the call from Sacred Heart and they had opening for February 18th, 2011.   YIPPEEEE!!!
So, now it is a few days before and I am a nervous wreck.  Many different emotions.  Alexis needs this MRI more than anything.  But it scares me that she will have to be put to sleep.  And for so many hours. 
Also, I am scared of what the results will be, yet we NEED to know what is going on with her little body! 
I feel devastated for my little girl. 
Please keep her in your prayers.  I have met soooo many beautiful, wonderful ladies on the support groups!   I can't say how grateful I am for all your support!  My heart goes out to all of your sweet little darlings as well!  No matter the outcome, these people have touched my hearts and gave me something else to be passionate about!   
There are so many children in this world who need help to find cures for their problems.  Please think about that.  You never know when something can happen to you or a loved one.  
God Bless!!!
