CT Scan

We had to take Ross in for a CT scan and EEG yesterday.  It went really well.  Of course we don't know anything yet...We go to the pediatrician next Monday for the results.  It was kinda funny. The radiology tech was clearly not thrilled about having to do a scan on a 2yr old.  We were clearly not thrilled to find out they were going to have to inject a contrast into his veins after our experience in the ER.  We all took a deep breath and braced ourselves.  When Sam sat Ross on this huge contraption his eyes got huge....he didn't know what to think.  To make a long story short. Ross was wonderful.  He was quiet.  He was still.  He even started to fall asleep.  It is amazing how much comfort holding Daddy's hand can bring (the promise of ice cream for a reward didn't hurt either).   The tech was so surprised at how well Ross did (he wanted ice cream too).  It is funny...normally Ross wants Momma, but when it comes down to the big bad stuff he totally wanted Dada.  He was so brave and such a big boy.   When we were through we picked up Sammy and we all promtly went for ice cream.  We didn't get the EEG done yesterday.  It looks like we are going to have to go to Primary Children's.  We'll find out more about that later.  Thanks to all of you who commented and sent us prayers and kind wishes.

Good job Ross. I know those things are scary enough for adults, let alone 2 year olds.
