Sedated Echo and Kidney Ultrasound

Hazel is undergoing a sedated echo and kidney ultrasound at Childrens Hospital tomorrow at 1:45. She will be having the procedure in short stay so she will have close access to vital sign monitoring and breathing support if necessary. Basically, she will be next to the OR and PICU in case an "event" occurs. She reacted poorly after her heart surgery and Dr. Baker does not want to take chances. She might have had malignant hyperthermia, but it was not officially diagnosed. This will give us a really good indication of where she is at health wise and we will develop a plan moving forward. We do not expect to get results tomorrow. The nephrologist said that if her results warranted it, we might do a CT angiogram. She officially does not like doctors, or nurses. I don't think she realizes Mommy is a nurse and if she did, I bet she would cry. I guess she is sick of getting squeezed, poked, and measured. It took four people to get her blood drawn at her nephrology appt. Wish us luck tomorrow and lets hope for good results.
