This morning Isaac has his MRI bright and early at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital. We arrived at 6:40am with the procedure starting a little after 8. They recently had some sedation team changes so the process was a little different from what we've experienced in the past. They gave him some nasal medicine which was suppose to relax him and often makes patients very sleepy so that they are distracted for the IV part. Well no big surprise to nick and I but it didn't have the intended effect. He was his vibrant and strong-willed self for the IV part so then they decided to try a gas mask instead as he wasnt going to go out without a fight. Luckily they let me come back with him to try to keep him calm. I tried to keep it together while he was fighting the gas mask. Gosh after 12 MRI's you'd think it would get better but no, I manage to cry at a number of them. This one just got me because I could hear him from underneath the mask crying and asking them to stop. Ughhh! But we got through it soon enough.
After the MRI we met with his oncologist who said Isaac's tumor was stable! Preliminary report was good! Of course they need the radiologist to study / read the scans and offer the details but overall we are pleased!! So we go into Thanksgiving week very very thankful!
We now have 1 year under our belts being off Chemo. Woo who!!
