Conner's scans are clear! It all went pretty smoothly yesterday. Conner had no anxiety with the IV placement thanks to the nitrous and a couple drugs. The nurses were amazing. His scans only took 1 hour 10 minutes when they normally take over 3! They said they were using a new protocol for Conner where the Neuroradiologist stays in the room for imaging and approves the pictures quickly. Before this, the tech would take the images and send to the Neuroradiologist for approval. Seems kind of time-consuming to me especially when waiting for answers prolongs these little kiddo's sedation time. I hope they continue this and hope it's not just because of things shaking up due to Covid.
Conner had a harder time coming out of sedation than usual. He was really groggy and there were many tears. We were able to settle him and let him sleep it off. He woke happy and even ate a cracker for the doctor (in order to go home).
I can't begin to tell you how stressed I was about this scan. It just kept eating at me and couldn't concentrate on much else. I don't know if it'll ever get easier. Time to enjoy this news though!
