Euan is having a brain mri tomorow to see if he has any lasting brain damage from when he was blue for 2 hours at birth and not takn down to scbu Angry

its an all day trip, they're doing it under general but because he can't go without fluid they are admitting him at 9 and putting him on IV fluid. The scans not till 2pm and I reacon it'll take till about 3!? Any ideas what time they might let us go after a GA??

not sure with Euans particular condition but my when my eldest had a GA they said as long as he was eating,drinking and peeing it was ok to go,about 2 hours-ish i think. Smile

We just had an MRI for Charlotte, she is three with GDD, she had a lumber puncture also. She went down at 2.30 was out at 3.30, then we were told they need to keep her in for four hours after. Then she was sick so we had to stay an extra hour till she kept food down - eventually got home at 10.45 pm after leaving the house at 8.00 am that morning. Was a very long, tiring day. Hope yours is over much quicker x
