Natalie's MRI

This past Tuesday, Fiona took Natalie to her MRI appointment scheduled at 12:00pm. Natalie had to fast, so she couldn't eat anything and she had to stay awake from that time she woke up (which was 9:00am) until they sedate her. So she was cranky throughout the morning. Fiona took her in and the medical personnel didn't sedate her until 1:30pm! They couldn't administer the drug until the doctor saw her. That was a little annoysome. Here's a baby not even 10 months old that has eating problems, weight issues and they deprive her of sleep and food for 4+hours. Sheesh. Anyways when they administered the sedative they were warning Fiona that the medicine taste really bad. So they wanted her to be ready for any tactics to make Natalie swallow the drug. It turned out that Natalie just gulped it down. Apparently she surprised everyone. The test took 25 minutes or so. The medical staff told Fiona that it could take 30 minutes or so for Natalie to wake up. So Fiona wouldn't be able to leave until she woke up and was evaluated that she was good to go. When the test was over, the technologist went to get Natalie. As soon as he picked her up, her eyes open wide. So much conventional wisdom. I guess now we'll just have to wait for the results.
