CT down, Cath to go...

So Vaeh had her CT scan this morning. Everything went well, except for the IV. Poor Vaeh & poor nurse, it took 3 pokes to finally get it in. The first two they were able to get a vein, but when they tried to flush it the vein blew! Again, she has such scared veins, which makes for hard sticks:0( But the 3rd time was a charm today.

They gave her noctech (sp?) for sedation, which usually takes 10 to 15 minutes to take effect. Oh no, not Vaeh! Little stinker was asleep in 3 minutes, & not just sleepy - completely out! Jon & I had to get blood work done, so we took off to do that while they did the test. When we got back, Little Miss V was still quite sleepy, & fell asleep nearly as soon as she hit the car seat.

We finally got her awake around 3 PM. She & Gabby played until... the belly flop on the floor interrupted! Poor thing was still a little woozy from the drugs that her reflexes are a little sluggish yet. She did a belly flop & ended up with a bloody nose! What a fun day. But now she's really starting to wake up & return to ornery, normal Vaeh:0)

So, now we just hang out until tomorrow morning. We have to be at the next hospital on the list at 10 AM. The beginning to another long day. Hopefully everyone else is having an uneventful week! I promise (Kathy :0) ) that I'll update periodically tomorrow! Until then...
