one long day for this mama.  lily had her 4th mri and pet scan.  she did amazingly well.  honestly the difficult part was starving her beforehand.  nothing to eat or drink after 7:30. she was so overtired and hungry when they finally got started.

i loved her nurse and doctor for the day.  all the other times, they have peeled her from my arms and off i went to the waiting room to sit anxiously on the end of my seat.  today, they had me carry her back to the pet scan machine.  i laid her down and they blew some gas over her sweet little face and off to dreamland she went.  it was peaceful, i could have stood there all day.  then they gently reminded me it was time to leave the room.

when i got to go back and see her, she was happily drinking a huge bottle of apple juice.  i was amazed, my little breast fed baby, with a bottle? juice?  its the first bottle she has ever had.  we went straight to a sippy cup.  and she was loving the juice.  that was a special treat as well.  i will be picking her up some more juice, especially for the long days when she is getting her chemo treatment.

it was a day i can only describe as life.  the ups and downs of emotions.  it was oddly a happy day.
