As I sit here in the sedation room at CHOP waiting for my baby to wake up from the third time she has had to be sedated in her life I can't help but feel a little sad. As I watch the other parents walk by we give each other that same knowing glance. We all agree that watching doctors and nurses hold down our babies (no matter what their age) and put needles in their arms is awful. Having drugs pumped into their little systems kills us a little inside. Some of them will go through this once. They will feel sad and they will be done. Others of us get to do it again and again. We will feel nauseous as the smell of a hospital. We will want to cry and scream and hit someone as we watch they feel sick or hurt. There is little we can do. It's our lot in life. We wish it was us. We wish we could tell the doctors to stop. We know that our children are looking at us, their parents, and don't have a clue why we would let anyone hurt them. That hurts my soul.
I know it isn't the worst thing in the world but it sure does suck.
Details of the MRI to come soon
