May 17, 2011

Today was Zayah's CT scan to get her hematoma checked out on her head. She has one side of her head that has a little bump from her hematoma left on it and then that side has stayed out farther then the other side of her head. She had an x-ray at the Cardston hospital about a month ago and they couldn't find something specific that was wrong but suggested a CT scan because it is more thorough. Basically we need to know if we need to shape her skull while she's still little with a helmet or something or if this will just go away on its own.





We got to the hospital at 8:30am and went through 2 or 3 desks, taking a paper with us, waiting in waiting rooms... then we met the nurse that would be helping Zayah. they had to give Z sedation so she would hold still for the scan. The nurse brought her sedation medicine in a syringe and gave it to her orally. She was asleep in about 5 minutes. The scan lasted about 5 minutes is all and when the nurse brought her back to me she was passed right out still. I had to wait in a room until she woke up and ate so they could make sure she was ok and then we could leave. We left around 10:30am. Waiting for results from our Doc now.
