Zach's MRI

Zach had his MRI this morning, and all in all it went really well. He was pretty apprehensive (as he always is in any sort of hospital setting) when we first go there, and was REALLY upset once they started the IV to give him his medication to sedate him. Luckily the nurse we had was an AWESOME IV started who works in the ER up at primary, and he was able to get Zach's IV in on this 1st try (which is unheard of for Zach!!). It took a long time and a LOT of extra medicine to finally knock him out... he was "not a cheap date" according to the nurses, lol (the male nurse who was about Joe's size said Zach had enough meds in him to knock out a grown man). Once they finally got him down, the actual MRI only took about half an hour to 40 min. Then waking him up was really hard to do... the nurse was about to break out the cold wet washcloths when Zach finally opened his eyes. After he drank a couple ounces of juice and kept it down he was good to go. We should hopefully hear the results back early next week. Now he is all snuggly, and sleepy, so its going to be a snuggle filled day here in the Magleby house!
