Mr. Fever! 100.5 and climbing...
Alex drank all the contrast solution to get ready for the CT scan. The doctors also ordered an IV in his hand since the dye they inject in him can damage his Port.
He was so brave, and so scared with the IV - but watched every move the nurse made. The numbing cream did it's job, and he didn't feel a thing.
He has had a bit of anxiety today, but some Oxycodon took the edge off, and now he is comfortably watching Ghostbusters II, for the second time...
We have a science project, and homework to do after the CT scan. Tomorrow we will try and go to the classroom in the ward here, and get some semblance of a routine started.
The nurse just walked in and told us that the Pediatric CT scan is "down", and maintenance is working on it - so, we may need to get Alex to drink the contrast solution AGAIN in a while.
