No contact with lo for 48hrs
Hi everyone,
I have a bone scan on Monday (they don't think it's anything terrible) and have to be injected with radionuclide 3 hours before the scan. Because of this I will be unable to hold any babies or young children for 48 hrs afterwards. Obviously Neve is not going to understand this at all and although I have set up that she is with either my husband or another family member during this period I am wondering - is it going to to upset her less not to see me at all, or to see me but not be able to touch me?

Wow - I'll find it really hard not to see her but what the heck am I going to do with all that free time!!!
Speak to them when your having the scan, and confirm that time scale. I had an isotopic (sp) bone scan in December 07 and they said 24hours to me, and my children who were 8 and 10 at the time could be around me but not sat with me for to long until the next day.
It may confuse here as to why she can't be with you if your there, check you may be ok to hug her but not hold her for very long.
