Preparing for a MRI

Since Kaitlyn was a baby, she has been getting MRIs. When she was late toddler age, she began to have complications when getting MRIs. Her body would think she was drowning, and her airways would close. From then on, she had to be sedated when getting a MRI. At age 6 a leison was found in her hip. She was sent to Campbell's clinic. They wanted another MRI done. I explained about the sedation. They wanted to try the MRI without anything. We had three months to practice. Kaitlyn practiced a few times a week, by putting legs under coffee table for several minutes. She was also aloud to bring any CD to listen to with big ear phones while in the machine. The day came for the MRI. She went in and climbed into the machine. While listening to "Can't Smile Without You" by Berry Manillo. She did better than an adult! The techs and I were amazed. This in turn will decrease the medical bills. Now she knows SHE CAN DO IT! She is ready for the next one, which will be in February of 2011.
