Good News!

All of the test results are back and everything is just fine!!  We definitely had the feeling that everything was ok with our little mister and that his soft spot was closing at a slower rate just because and for no reason at all!  But having it confirmed is wonderful!

The morning of the CT Scan ...

Last Friday morning we all woke up, got dressed and got straight in the car to head to Children's Hospital for Ryland's CT scan.  Ryland could not eat that morning so that he would be ready for sedation just in case they could not get a good picture with him awake.  Ryland was happy and having a good morning.

When we got to Children's, Kari came down to say HI.  He was happy to see her and show her the big train set in the waiting area.  He loved pushing the buttons to make the train go around the track.

While we were waiting in the radiology area Ryland got to pick out a Christmas ornament and we walked around to see all of the holiday decorations and the big fish tank.  We were actually early for our 9am appointment but they were able to take us back early.

Ryland did not get upset until we laid him on the xray table and started to velcro him.  He looked like a little burrito.  The nurse was so good and helpful in distracting Ryland as much as possible from being strapped down.  Tab and I put on the lead vests and we got to stay in there with him.   Tab had to hold his chin so that he did not move his head and I stood on the other side so that he could see both of us.  It only took one try and they were able to get a good scan!  He was such a big boy!  We were so happy that they were able to do it all without sedating Ryland.  And after it was all over the nurse gave Ryland a Christmas balloon!  He left Children's happy and was glad when we finally got to Goddard so that he could see and play with all of his friends.  

That afternoon his classroom had their Christmas party.  Tab and I went up there to eat treats with all of the kids.  After we all left his school Ryland and I made a detour and went to my office to pick up something that I had forgotten.   He loved running around my office and up and down the walkways!  There were so many toys and balls for him to play with.  It was a great ending to a long day!
