Adam Update

Adam slept on and off during his first night stay at Nationwide Children's hospital. He also received his first few doses of IV antibiotics. We were also dealt a minor setback later in the morning. He went for his MRI after getting up around 7:30am. They tried to sedate him, but after receiving the full dose of medication, Adam was still somewhat awake. He did finally dose off long enough to them to start the procedure. But after a couple of wiggles, and then opening his eyes, the nurse and technician had to give up (the scan was supposed to take about 45 minutes). We are still waiting to her from the attending about the next steps in his treatment. Not sure if they'll try the MRI again. The nurse says they won't try again until after 24 hours to let the first round of sedation wear off completely. The second attempt could be under general anaesthesia. UGH!

He's pretty grumpy now. He slept in the crib for about an hour after the procedure. Now he'll only sleep in some one's arms. Christie and I are both at the hospital right now. I took a short break to update you all. They have a family resource center with free Internet connection! How awesome is that! Adam did drink about 4 oz. of juice about 20 minutes ago. Christie was about to give him some formula. He's also back on fluids through the IV. They say his mood will slowly improve with the day, as the sedation wears off.

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers! It's going to be a very slow recovery, and it's just beginning!
