The last few days have been a little stressful. Clayton had an MRI on his heart to look at an artery that is slightly narrowed. It turned out that he won't need intervention, which is a relief. The echo couldn't look at everything, hence the MRI. Still, we had to wake him up and feed him at 6 am, drive two hours to the closest Children's Hospital, and check in. His appointment was at 1 pm, but we had to be there by noon. He was great. He cooperated with the techs and nurses. They had to put in an IV and he did cry a little for that. I can't tell you how proud I was of him. As a person that works in the health industry, I can tell you it is such a relief when children cooperate. I got to hold him as they sedated him. I laid him down on the scanner table, gave him a kiss, and left the room. *
About an hour later, the doctor came to the holding room after the exam to give us the good news. Whew! Clayton was still a little groggy but in good spirits.
Now, on to other pressing things. This weekend is Kendall's 5th birthday party. (her actual bday is on Monday, the 20th). So, I must get organized for that and order the cake. I can't believe it. Turning 5 and then starting kindergarten in September. Where did the years go?
*a huge 'thank you' to my friend, Ronda, for watching Kendall while we took Clayton to the hospital
