Tomorrow is a big day for Jude. He will apparently be the first 5 year old that has ever undergone a functional MRI for this particular technican at Abbott. She was very hesitant, but somehow the neurosurgeon and oncologist must have talked her into it. I sure hope my stubborn little Jude can cooperate. I told him that the technician thought he was too little to do a good job and that it would be so cool if she could prove her wrong and be the first 5 year old to ever pass the test. He wins any XBox game he wants if he is able to cooperate. I have a call into Children’s Hospital to get more information about whether the dyes will burn when going through the IV, what questions they wil ask him and what ideas they have to hide the IV from Jude. I am interested in knowing if they can use the foot since Jude may not think to check if an IV is there after he stops daydreaming while on nitrous oxide when they are placing the IV. I also have to practice with him in the tunnel tonight and get him prepared for the loud noises he will hear.
