We are home
We are home and Evan is sleeping. It took 4 sticks this morning to get an IV, up until then Evan had been handling things really well. Because he is on Digoxin they were not able to use the same sleep medicine called Dex which worked really nicely last time but Dex. mixed with Digoxin they said could cause heart failure. They used Versed and Nembutal. They were not able to give him the Nembutal until we got to the nuclear medicine dept. for some reason and there was another baby in there just screaming so Evan fought the med's really hard and that is always upsetting to see. Once they had him to sleep the test only took about 20 min. As soon as Evan woke up they told us to start giving him Coke because Nembutal causes bad headaches and caffiene helps. He was pretty upset that his head was hurting but once we got down the road a ways he calmed down and fell asleep and seems to be resting nicely now. They said the headaches could last all day so, I'm going to rest a bit too, it could be a long night! Thanks for all your prayers, we really appreciate it! Will update when we get the results, could be Wednesday before we get them.
