April 1st...
Today was Averi's CT scan at the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville. I was nervous about the scan itself, I was nervous about how long it was going to take, I was nervous about how Cael was going to be, heck, I was nervous about finding the hospital!! I amaze myself sometimes though, and today was very smooth. With the exception of going into the wrong parking garage at first, the nice man a the booth saved me a LOT of walking by telling me I could go to the one down the street. The scan was fairly quick, one of the nurses came in and played cars with Cael because he couldn't go back with Averi and me, and he was really OK with that! I asked the nurses not to sedate Averi for the process because I was fairly confident she would fall asleep on her own. They said that was just fine, but just as long as I knew that if I was wrong, and she woke up...we would be there that much longer waiting for the sedative to kick in. But I had faith in her and in the end I was right. She slept through the whole thing like a champ! We get those results back on Monday when we meet with the 'big' doctor. The serious one. The scary and intimidating one!
Things got a little rocky on the way OUT of Nashville however! I always forget to mapquest my way back. The receptionist gave me a map that made it look like a piece of cake. The only roads on the map were the ones I needed in big bold black lines. Well guess what? THERE ARE MORE THAN JUST 2 ROADS IN THAT CITY! There were about a bajillion roads that didn't happen to be listen on said map and they change names like you and I change underwear. (I hope.) No harm done though, I kept my cool and we just went sight seeing for about half an hour...I finally made my way back around and found a street that went straight instead of pretending to go straight and then veering to one side...making it to where you can see the road you want to be on, but you just can't get there! I found an interstate and just took whatever road I had to take to get there, and lucky me, it was the right one! So, there is the explanation for all the pictures today. Yes I took them while I was driving. Yes people were shaking there heads at me. Yes my windshield is a tad dirty. And No, I didn't even almost crash!
