No Results

We got there today, only to learn that we won't have any results for a week or two...agh!!
It was snowing when we left and not the nicest of drives to Windsor, but from Windsor on, it was just wet. Driving home was fine...
Graham was awesome today. We started off at 9 having an IV put in, he was great, didn't cry or move, he did pinch up his face. They injected the first dye, we waiting 40 minutes and then he had the first scan. The scan takes about 25 minutes but we had some problems with that. The machine is set up to take 16 pictures per heart beat. It looks at the beginning of the heart beat and then starts taking pictures...unfortunately with Graham's extra beats, it was throwing the machine off, so Graham ended up having to lay there for 45 minutes with his hands over his head without moving...he asked if he was allowed to move to breath...they said that was a good thing. We left there around 11 to grab some lunch.


At 1 we were back to the heart centre for the stress test part. While he's running on the treadmill they inject another dye and will absorb into the parts they want to see in one minute. He ran his little guts out...all the time telling them how good of a soccer player he is. Then back down to nuclear medicine for another scan but this one wasn't as bad because the machine was "ready" for him. We ended up leaving around 3 so we were able to make it back for Elysia's soccer game...which they won!
