The Scan

Today's CT scan of Everett's head finished very quickly and they did not need to sedate him at all. He was so still with his head cradled in the very stiff trough shaped head holder. He didn't even seem to mind the heavy lead apron.

While the machine was working the magic of taking a picture of the inside of his head, we sang songs to pass the time.

He had to fast for eight before the scan, and even though we tried to get the earliest time we could, he was still famished afterwards. Thank heaven there was a plastic Wendy's spoon in the car to distract him when he gobbled up all the food I brought. We made it home without incident. and he was content with the spoon the entire time.

Next is the developmental screening.
