Due to his age, sedation would be necessary so fasting was in order. For an 11:30 scan we would arrive at 10:30. Check. No milk after 6:30 am. Check. No liquids after 8:30. Check. No food after 4:30. Tentative check. Oh yes, and no more than 6 hours of sleep. Excuse me, what? Are you aware this child is 2 years, 8 months and 15 days old? How do you explain to a 2 year, 8 month 15 day old toddler that he can't eat, drink or sleep?
So, in our master plan we would take him to a soccer themed birthday party and have him run around like crazy and get super tired. Then at 5:00pm we would put him down for a nap and wake him at 7:00pm so that he could stay awake until 12:00am. We would then wake him at 6:00 am for some milk. J would have none of this. Nap? This is what J decided would be in store.
1:00am ~"Hmm...let's take a look at these stickers."
1:30am~ "I hung-ree. I want cereal straws!"
9:45am~"Seriously Daddy, I am operating on 6 hours of sleep. Count them 1-2-3-4-5-6!"
12:45pm~"Do I look like I want apple juice and your lame salt free saltines? "
1:00pm~"Oh yeah, this wheelchair wagon is loads of fun"
1:00pm~"Yes, it's fun. Quit asking me. Can I take this toy home?"
1:05pm~"Can we just stop with the pictures already. I need McDonald's and a nap!"
**UPDATE/RESULTS**
Dr. ENT tells us there was only a small area of inflammation. Which is good but bad because it doesn't really get to the bottom of what is going on. We have one more test to check to see if he has Cystic Fibrosis. In a phone call today she informed Jeremy that for now we will wait it out and see if he "grows out of this." She wants to hold off taking him to Children's because she feels the results are promising in that he might be getting better and growing out of it. In the past summer is always good for J. She would like to see him again in the Fall and hopefully by then will be "cured". Whatever. So much for modern medicine.
