What A Day it Has Been

So I didn't post yesterday because we really didn't do anything. The doctors came to the hotel to give Dylan his shot to start boosting his bone marrow and after that we went to the mall and then walked back to the hotel. Monterrey is a nice city and the people here are really nice. Unfortunately, today was not so great. Dylan was to have his MRI today and that meant that he could not have anything to eat or drink after 6:3o this morning because they have to put him to sleep. He is obviously not going to lay still for them to take the MRI pictures!! We got to the hospital at 10:00 and they were running about 30 minutes behind. Not to bad but then the screaming starts around 11:00. Dylan has really bad veins to stick. (a trait he unfortunately got from me) So for an hour the nurses and doctors tried to get a vein and then once they got it, keep it from blowing. Well finally they got a vein and it was working and everything was good. We go down to have the MRI and when we get down there and get ready to push the sedative medicine in..... the vein had blown again!!!! At this point the doctors say that they are not going to stick him any more and they are going to try and give him some sedation medicine by mouth and see if it will last him long enough to get the MRI done. They give him the medicine and within 2 minutes he throws most of it back up. He had not eaten all day and by this time it was 1:00pm. So the medicine didn't sit well on his stomach to say the least. Luckily, enough stayed down to get him in a sleep that was good enough to get the MRI finished. After that we went back up to the doctors office to get Dylan's daily bone marrow boosting shot. That went well. He whined for a minute and then it was over. We finally made it back to the room around 2:3o where Dylan downed a sippy cup of milk and a lot of Little crunchies. He was my hero today. After everything that he had endured today he was smiling and being his cheerful self after he got something to eat. He has been through so much in his little life already. Tomorrow will be a better day!! Hope this finds you all well.
