Sick kids are disgusting creatures. Madison has had a rough few days. She caught an awful cold and her nose just will not stop. Friday, She had her 1 year check up. She got 3 big needles in the arms. She is in the 80th percentile for height and weight. She is 30" long and 23.3 lbs. A lot happens in a year, this time last year we couldn't get her to gain an ounce.Saturday, we trekked it back into Boston Children's for her MRI. It was quite traumatic for all involved. It took them two sticks to get Madi's IV in place so she could be sedated. They mangled her poor little wrists and hands. The bruises do not show well. It is rough to hear your child scream like that. She was a trooper, but wanted no part of the nurses and doctor's. When the nurse would come in the room she would start yelling. Inserting the IV was the roughest ordeal. They taped her up so much it wasn't much better removing her IV once her scan was done. Thankfully it is all over and hopefully will never be done again.
We relaxed at home the rest of the weekend. Poor kid is still a bit under the weather. She just can't catch a break.
