We had a 2:00 appointment today for a CT scan. After starving Kaiden since midnight, we left at 12:45 to get there right on time. We did get there about 1:45 and checked in. They came looking for us right away, telling us we where supposed to be there 2 hours ago. Who knew...not me! Maybe the lady scheduling my appointment should've told me that! Oh well...then they went on to tell me they were supposed to call me to push up my appointment by a few hours. That would've been nice, instead I was distracting a hungry baby all morning! I let it go....whatever...shit happens. This all happened after I had to call into the clinic to see when we were scheduled. Must've slipped their mind to let ME know of our appointment date...ha!
Anyways, they were rushing around trying to get a consent form signed, but wanted to start an IV right away while they were waiting. The freezing gel didn't have time to work, but they wanted to try anyways. The first try was in his foot, and when he started screaming and trying to get off the table, they had reinforcements come in to hold him down. The second try was on his hand, and he kept up a good fight! Talk about tramatizing a poor, little baby! When I started crying too, they decided to stop.
Finally, the consent form arrived and was signed, and they decided to sedate him first. I felt horrible and incredibly mad that my little boy had to go through all that.
The scan took about 20 minutes, and he was awake a few minutes after that. After a good feeding, he was his happy smiling self again. Hopefully, this doesn't leave a lasting impression on the little dude. This isn't the last time we will be going through something like this!!
