Raquel's MRI will be taking place on Wednesday, March 25th at 7:30am, at Children's Hospital. We need to check in at 6am and are the first appointment of the day. She can't have any solids after midnight, so I'm pleased that we have an early appointment since my girl wakes up wanting to eat! I'm told that the test itself will take approximately one hour. I can be with her until they put her to sleep, then will have to wait outside until it's complete. I'm not crazy about the putting to sleep part, but was told that they will give her a scented mask and it's pretty peaceful. They don't do IV's because they want the children as calm as possible for the test.
I also need to turn in a form to the anesthesiologist, stating that she's been seen by a physician within 30 days of the MRI. I'm hoping that Dr. Mower, Raquel's neurologist, will be able to take care of this since he is the referring physician. If not, I'll have to make an appointment with her primary pediatrician and have her complete it instead.
