MRI Update

Jack can not have his MRI done today! He started Saturday night with throwing up and it lasted till last night. He is better today. They want him clear from vomiting for a full 24 hours before they would put him under. He still has a little cold, so they don't really like that either.

It is very frustrating. There are several reasons why we need this MRI done. I don't want to do anything that puts Jack at a higher risk while under anesthesia, but are luck is very frustrating. We cant afford for me and my husband to take days off especially if a appointment is not going to happen. The only good thing is he is contagious until he has stopped vomiting for 24 hours so he wouldn't have been able to go to school today. I would have had to take the day off anyway. I wouldn't want to put anyone else's child at risk.

Are luck with this appointment has just been very off. Since school started it has been one thing after another with Jack being sick. I figured this would happen! It is just hard when we are trying to wrap this appointment up. We need to know more about this left hip being out. We also need to have it done for several more reasons! We are just frustrated! I now need to take another day off for the rescheduled MRI. My husband will probably not be able to and I will have to be on my own when and if this appointment really happens. It was luck that my husband managed to be free to go. Anyways- things happen...especially to us lately. Just are luck. I guess I need to look at it from a more positive prospective. We are lucky the vomiting didn't send Jack to the hospital. A stomach bug for him is very serious. I know if I would have called the specialist he would have sent him in to the hospital to be hydrated. I was waiting to see if things got better or worse. Thank God he stopped vomiting before he crashed. He was having full body tremors. It is very hard to see him like that. I know he could be much worse, and I am thankful he does as well as he does.

Pray Jack starts to feel better. Totally free of this cold and bug. It is enough to deal with his regular problems from day to day. A nasty cold and stomach bug makes it harder. Please pray that Jack is well enough to have the MRI done for his rescheduled appointment in a few weeks.
