Getting scared now!UPDATE!
Hi all, as you know my little boy is profoundly deaf so is undergoing lots of tests to try and discover causes and check that there isnt any hidden reason behind it.
Anyhow he has his mri on Wednesday and i am starting to get very scared about it all, as he has to be put out under a general. We have to starve him from 6 hours before and can only have water up to 2 hours before.We then wont know how long we have to wait for the results as we are not due to see his consultant again til march. I am just getting very scared about how he is going to be with it all. Even though this is just the start for us as he is due to have an operation around his first birthday, for cochlear implants which also sounds very scary and is a four hour op!.
Wow i feel slightly better actually writing down how i feel, as when i am around the kids i dont like them to see me worried so have been bottling it up.
Sorry for rambling I think i just needed to get it all out. xxxx

George was a very good boy yesterday he fell asleep just before he was due to go in as he was soo hungry!! So was really easy to give him the general as it was just a mask by his face and we all knew when he went as he went so limp in his dads arms! We then laid him on the bed and had to leave him.
The hospital were fantastic as the audiology team were there for the mri and whilst he was under performed more tests on his ears so it would have been a better result, as all the other tests we have had to rock him to sleep and that was hard! He also had more blood tests done and another ecg. So we were really pleased how they got everything done on one day and the communicatoin between the different departments was amazing we was only expecting the mri!
Anyway he was under for around 2 hours in the end and then we finally got taken down to recovery to get him and he was still sleepy but having some water and then we gave him his milk which was gone withing seconds!! It took him a while to get with it and was grumpy bless him and he had his canular taken out of his arm and then we went home.
George has been fine since very chirpy! And guess what he slept all night til 7am!! FIRST TIME EVER!!!
Its just a case of waiting for results now we dont see his consultant now until the 17th march but we can ring in a couple of weeks for the results!
Thanks all again I am just so glad its all over with now!! xxxxx
Fingers crossed for good results for you. Don't know if it's possible but try and get some information now on who you can contact in the event that the test results throw up something you aren't expecting. It will be easier knowing in advance who you can turn to if you have urgent questions or concerns that you don't want to leave until March.
Enjoy the sleep while you can
I'm glad it all went well... the sleep after was fantastic-bet it had been a big day for him!!
Hope you get the answers you need from these tests!!
