Please keep Finley in your prayers.

Update - Finley had a really hard time being Put to sleep. They had to give her the meds it would take to put an adult to sleep and she only weighs 34 pounds. She fought sleep like crazy and would just thrash her body around. KeV was holding her the whole time but she just thrashed and throw her body back and keV was having a hard time even keeping a grasp on her. Finally after 1.5 hours of trying to put her to sleep, she finally gave in. The MRI went fine and we were able to be with her in recovery. With the large volumes of medications she was given, she had a hard time waking up. We sat with her for almost 2 hours before she finally woke up. She was not happy when she woke but was not freaking out. She had some juice and after about 2.5 hours in recovery, they let her go. KeV picked her up to leave and she threw up all over Kevin. Poor kev was puked on and when she was thrashing before the MRI when she was heavy medicated, she emptied her bladder on him too. Needless to say keV was happy to get joke for a shower :). On the drive home she continued to throw up everything she had drank. She fell back asleep on the drive and has just been very slow all night. Towards bedtime she started to seem back to normal but still clumsy and kept bumping into things. Hopefully she will be back to normal in the morning.

Thanks so much for all your prayers. Now we need to pray the results o the MRI show positive. Thanks again!

In about a half hour Finley will be put under general anesthesia for her 4 hour MRI. This MRI is of her brain and all 3 spine areas. This is to get a baseline for the spina bifida clinic to be able to follow her in the future. Unfortunately she has to be put under for a long time so please keep her in your prayers as we have no idea how she will respond. I will update as soon as it is over. Thanks for your prayers!

  6. Glad it's over, but hate that it was so difficult!! They did Wesleigh's different. We didn't have to give her any meds before, they took her back and then put her under with gas. Praying for a good report (I'm sure it will be).

  11. Poor little thing. We will keep her in our prayers.

    Caroline had her tonsils out at 3 years old and weighed just 26 lbs. I remember being so nervous about the anesthesia. I stayed with her in the hospital after the surgery. She peed all over me when she fought taking the pain medicine. She also had to be brought to the potty several times that night because she was hooked up to an IV and was potty trained for only a few months. I didn't get ANY sleep that night. Horrible.
