CT Scan

September 14, 2009

Doctor estimates her discharge date to be this Thursday. This was delayed as a result of a 2-hour fever on Sunday evening. A CT scan was ordered right before lunch was served and Alisha was asked to fast for 4 more hours. I could not see my child go hungry again for over 10 hours with hardly any breakfast, having to drink this awful liquid for the CT and suffer the charming side effects of steroid - enhanced appetite and amped up grouchiness. After countless hours of discussions and to the chagrin of the doctor and nurses, Alisha didn't have to fast and drink the foul-tasting liquid before the CT scan and it was postponed until tomorrow.
