9 month CT Scan

I love receiving good news these days!  God continues to bless us with another report of a cancer free scan.

Max is such a trooper.  He was having a great morning even after having to fast and not drink anything for 12 hours he was still in a good mood.  We arrived before 7am and Max drank 8oz of contrast liquid without even a complaint, it is such a nasty thing and he was able to keep it down with only a few gags, so I asked the anesthesiologist if we could try the test without the use of anesthesia this time.  We have run into many issues with Max not reacting well to the anesthesia and they agreed that we could give it a try and if it didn't work they would have the team ready to knock him out.  I couldn't have been more proud of him today.  He did everything that was asked of him and laid completely still throughout the whole scan.  They even had to inject him with another contrast dye during the middle of the test.  The whole radiology team was in awe of him and said they have never had a 2 year old able to do what Max did.  They rewarded him with  a big red stuffed warthog, which he was really excited to give to Gus the puppy.
