Spicy Dragons & Dinosaurs

Julia had a sedated MRI today as part of a neuro-physic workup. The tough part of the test of course was sedating her. We had an excellent team of nurses/nurse practitioners at UW hospital who took her step by step very slowly until they were able to insert the IV. Julia was deathly afraid of the IV and told the staff over and over how she was not going to have an iv put in today. She was pretty loopy when they finally put the IV in. She looked at it, sort of smiled, and said, "I have an IV now." She was out in another minute. We have been through some awful vacination days and blood draws (for Hep B) over the last three years, and I was sooo grateful for the team that we worked with today.
