Sam's MRI

Here are Rick and Sam in the waiting room at Levine's Children's Hospital last Friday morning. Sam did so well for not eating or drinking for over 15 hours. He didn't cry once--not once! We checked in at 7 a.m. and checked out at 11 a.m. Rick picked Sam up when he came out of the anesthesia, and although he slurred his words and ate a snack as if he had never chewed before, he was in good spirits. He thought it was cool that the O2 monitor on his toe glowed bright red, and even watched with interest as the nurse pulled out his IV. What a trooper!

We received the results in the mail today, and all scans came back negative. Praise God! So, we're going with the theory that what he's experiencing are "infantile spasms" caused by a body and a brain growing very fast but not necessarily at the same rate. And we're okay with that:)
