VCUG is almost GONE!!!.....

VCUG went well. Few things I would like to share with my fellow mothers....



Vercid is the drug they choose to sedate my child this morning for his test. This drug works best when the child is sleep deprived and has an empty stomach. So Sunday night he was up til 11:30pm eating and drinking and watching the Goodnight Show! Monday morning I woke him up at 7:30 and off to the hospital we went NO breakfast NO milk and Tired Chase. The Vercid made him very emotional. SO at this point we have a 3 year old who is tired, hungry, scared and over emotional and honestly acting drunk from the vercid. During the entire test he was awake and a little unhappy about the procedure. He did NOT like the numbing cream on his pee pee and the catheter, I don't blame him one bit. He did not like the tape on his pee pee either. And the one thing I thought he would like was the little red light on his finger tip to track his Oxygen levels. He wanted that thing off so bad. The hardest part is right at the end of the test... he is laying on a table naked with a catheter still in and they want him to pee on command so they can watch it on the tv. After 15 minutes of 5 adults pleading with this overtired, emotional, hungry, scared 3 year old I put a cup to his pee pee and said pee in the cup for DR Mary and he PEED for Dr Mary. She holds weight with him, doesn't she?



After we got back to his room we let him watch tv and lounge off the drunkeness of Vercid. It was pretty comical for us at this point. He was a happy little drunk now! He had chocolate milk and french toast with syrup! He gobbled it all up. He rode out of Pediatrics in a wagon and was quite the little flirt all the way to the car from the 3rd floor!!!

That's my Boy!!! (or my Ham!!!)
