MRI = Done!

Shewww, what a weight lifted off our shoulders!  Not that we have the results yet, but anticipating Ryder being put to sleep is never easy for us.  Here he is in the waiting room playing with Daddy (these 2 can find ways to have fun, no matter what the circumstances!): (Oh, hey, look, I finally got a picture of his top two teeth that just came in!)

They took him back and said it would be about an hour…that turned into almost two hours…yikes!  So what do two worried parents do while they anxiously wait?!

 

We checked the beeper every 5 minutes to make sure it was still working (just incase we somehow didn’t feel it vibrate or hear it beep!)

 

Mommy paced back and forth along this brick wall; Daddy sat at the end biting his nails off!  He has spent a lot of time in that very spot, doing that very same thing.

 

 

We reminisced about the fact that one year ago today we were sitting in one of those very rooms (on the 3rd floor) with our baby down the hall in the NICU.

We ran into our two favorite nurses from the NICU and gave them an update on Ryder.  I love how they remember him and still care about his well-being.

And then finally, our beeper buzzzzzed and we ran as fast as we could to recovery!  Ryder was just waking up and was very groggy, but in no time we had him in the car and he was fast asleep for our entire car ride home.

Now that we are home, he has eaten a HUGE meal, must have felt good to finally be able to eat something.  He’s being spoiled rotten by Mommy & Daddy, crawling all around as if he has never missed a beat, and playing with every single toy he has!

Now we just wait for someone to call with some results.
