First Tests COMPLETED

It's been a while since I've lasted updated and a LOT has happened.

Connor is doing AMAZING on his medicine.  No seizures that I know of which is great.

Trevor came home from deployment and we're still adjusting to everything.

This has all caused some hidden stresses in our lives and we are still trying to cope.

It's hard, scary, frustrating and sometimes very painful...

Connor's MRI was very hard for me... He had to get sedated by anesthetics.

When the doctor called us back he let me hold him while they put the mask over his face.

I didn't know I had to wrap my leg over his body and hold down his arms... 

I was trying so hard to stay strong and let him know it's okay and that mommy was here, but all I could do is let out a whisper being that I was on the edge of bursting into tears. 

I caught a whiff of the anesthetic and immediately felt nauseous.  It was all too much for me.

Finally he stopped struggling, screaming and crying, and fell right to sleep.

I didn't get very far in that hallway before I lost it in Trevor's arms.

It was about an hour and a half until I saw them wheel a huge bed with a little body through the lobby.

I followed the nurse and my son up the elevator and to the recovery room.

I had to wait to enter the recovery room until after he woke up, so Trev and I waited nervously..

I pictured him to be screaming and crying for mommy and being so afraid, so I couldn't help but burst into tears and into a laugh when I saw him sitting up in the bed with a huge popsicle.

He was so weak and still a bit sleepy so this huge popsicle was at times too heavy for him to hold.

He's such a brave soul and I admire him every day...

We went home and to my surprise my friend Vic brought him over a HUGE Car's cupcake.

He thoroughly enjoyed this treat, and it was much deserved...

I'm so glad I have such great friends here to help keep me grounded.

I'm not sure what I would do without them :)
