MRI #5!

We're finally home from the MRI, and everything looks great! 

This was a loooooong morning.  It started around 5:30 this morning when I got up to get ready. (Well, it really started at 3:30 when Finn woke up and stayed awake for over an hour - sigh.)  Finn was up (again) at 6:20, and I lucked out with collecting the urine specimen when he peed while I had the specimen cup in my hand - I caught it midstream and didn't have to mess with squeezing urine out of the cotton balls that had been stuffed in his diaper last night.  I felt like such a bad ass.  LOL

We got to the hospital at 7am, and for the first time had to wait because the anesthesiologist was caught up in another case.  It was after 8 before he went back - and while he didn't smile, he didn't cry, which was good.  He was smiling and flirting with the nurses again when I went back to get him in a recovery a few hours later, and was fairly happy (but hungry) during his abdominal ultrasound.  I fed him after his ultrasound and then we headed over to Dr. Bolen's office.

We didn't make it there until after 11, so we had a little wait, but he did great.  They had balloons in the waiting room, so he was well entertained, and when we went back to the exam room, there were bubbles and toys and a wonderful child life specialist that kept him entertained while they got his vitals and drew his blood.

Finally Dr. Bolen came in and gave us the good news - the tumor is the same size, but actually looks different.  It's less defined, like you would expect if the body was breaking it down.  She didn't see anything at all to be worried about, so we're free of scans for the next 3 months!  Yay!

Thanks again to you all for all your thoughts and prayers.  Lots of love from me and Finn!
