CT Scan

Well we were able to get Aliya's CT scan without having to put her under after 3 different tries.  We tried the first time while she was awake and she was too wiggly, then while we were waiting for the nurses to get sedation, she fell asleep so we tried again and we only needed another minute when she woke up and started moving again.  So we tried the sedation but unfortunately it did the opposite of relaxing her...it made her agitated and have a lot of secretions so we had to keep suctioning her.  So then we were in recovery having labs done for our Nephrology (kidney) appointment,  she cried the whole time...which was about 30 minutes straight which is a lot because she hardly cries!  As a result of all the crying she wore herself out and fell asleep so we were able to get the scan.  We only needed her to be still for about 3 minutes so I am so glad we didn't have to make another appointment with the outpatient clinic to put her under to get the scan.

THE RESULTS:  So the ENT wants to do the jaw surgery but on the CT scan it showed Aliya had anomalies of her Cervical Spine which is located in her neck.  To my understanding by what the Neurologist said it didn't form correctly...so now we have to go see a Neurosurgeon next week because the ENT wants to make sure it is stable enough to do the surgery.
