Hudson's CAT Scan

A few weeks ago Hudson was put in the hospital for croup and we found out that his trachea was deviated. After a few weeks of waiting Hudson finally had his CAT scan on Tuesday. Our poor little guy couldn't eat or sleep for a few hours before the test. Then when we got to the hospital they had to give him an iv and some sleepy drugs. Our stubborn little guy doesn't like to sleep... ever... so the drugs had no effect on him. He pulled his iv out and they had to try to put it back in, but they ended up turning him into a pin cushion.

Hunter was in the room with him, but I had to wait in another room because of the radiation. I could hear my poor baby screaming and crying. It was awful! It was supposed to be a quick scan that was only going to last about 10 minutes, but ended up lasting 2 hours. So for 2 hours I listened to Hudson screaming and crying from a room down the hall... it was torture for me... and for him.

Anyway, thank goodness it is over and done with. We got a call from Hudson's doctor today and he said that he looks great. No masses were found. There was still some deviation, but it looks like it is just his lymph nods. Thank you God for watching over our sweet boy!
