So we had our appointment at 10:00 this morning, while we were there the doctor informed me that when she had her CAT Scan a week ago to rule out appendicitis the radiologist never actually saw her appendix! SO the doctor reordered the CAT Scan and we went and had that redone. Of course I was livid for having to put her through it again-not that the CAT Scan is bad but that test requires her to have an IV which she is already terrified of. So as we drove from one hospital to the other she screamed in the backseat for me to turn the car around "right now" cause she was not going to do another test and get another "pointy" in her arm. I explained to her that they had magic lotion there that they could put on her before the IV so she wouldn't feel anything, she wasn't having ANY part of that at all. I told her that Pops called the hospital before we got there to make sure they used the magic lotion on her as well.
So we got into the new hospital and they gave her the pink lemonade with the "stuff" in it to make her glow during the CAT Scan and she started drinking it and calmed down quite a bit. We got put into a room shortly after and she perked up a little again. Here is a picture of her and Nana reading stories:
As you can see below it wasn't all totally traumatic:
Here is a picture of the magic lotion on her arms before she got the IV:
So they did her IV and took her in for the CAT Scan, they saw the appendix this time and there is nothing wrong with it, they detected no infection, no inflammation or anything so they sent us home knowing nothing more than when we got there.
Here is a picture of her with her prize that they gave her for doing such a great job...she loves Curious George!
We have another appointment with her doctor tomorrow at 3:00, I'll update again after that.
