B was getting an MRI because he has a loss in vision but the extensive tests on his eye show no reason for it. So we scheduled an MRI at Shands for 11:30. Our day looked like this:
8:30 depart B drank a little carton of orange juice from the school lunch he looked forward to eating.
10:30 arrival, because you have to come an hour early.
12:30 go to the prep room and find out that OJ is not a clear liquid and he needs to wait 2 more hours. The anesthesiologist said if he has loose teeth, they should get pulled so they won't get knocked out during the procedure. B had a loose one that could come out, so E pulled it out and used rolled klenex to contain the bleeding. They let him use an ipad loaded with nice games. E napped while B became absorbed and didn't mind the wait or the pulled tooth. He would wake E to get a new klenex roll periodically.
3:00 ask if they are going to call him back since it's been 2 hours plus a reasonable extra wait. Find out that an emergency case came in at 2:30.
4:00 B goes in.
5:30 E goes over to Shands to find B in Recovery, has all the feels as she wanders the post-op looking for him and recognizing the sights, sounds and ceiling tiles of past times with Geoff.
6:15 B can be waken from and observed for 10 minutes. They let him use an ipad again and his movements were jerky. He had a wheelchair ride down to the exit.
7:00 visit Grandma L. She have us some gifts and an ice cream cone for B. We chatted while B ate the ice cream but he was nauseous and not able to finish it.
8:00 go pick up doughnuts for teeth!
8:30 pick up checkers for fries!
9:30 pick up cheezy bread from the Hastings little ceasars because they didn't have cheese pizza.
10:00 Arrive alive!, share fries and cheezy bread.
8:30 AM Wednesday: Doughnuts for Breakfast!
