Hospital Visit- CT scan

Today we arrived at the hospital at 8.30am, Brody had to be starved with no food or drink. They did a x-ray of Brody's chest and then we went to the clinic to wait.

The wonderful Chris from ABI, came to do some behaviour strategies on Brody, which turn out to be so much help, as after Brody did his bloods, we got to see the doctor and she was in and out and confused about what was going to happen. Chris took Brody out to play at starlight room. Thanks heaps Chris for all your help.

Brody x-ray was normal so no operation on his cords, he was booked in a 12.00pm to have a CT-scan. We were in an out of the doctors a couple of times.

The last time we went to the doctors room , we had 3 of us in the room, the doctor had her plum on her table. Brody grabbed it and none of us could get it back, then next minute he took a bite out of it. You might laugh or think its funny, but i didn't think so as they changed the TC-scan from 12.00pm to 4.30pm. So then i had to leave the hospital and go back at 3.00pm and still starve Brody for the rest of the day. Was not happy. The doctor did say sorry as she shouldn't of had her plum there in front of a child who is starving, not to mention a Autism child, who doesn't understand he cant eat or doesn't understand he cant eat the fruit on the table.

The hospital had people given out Easter Eggs, so Brody got all these chocolate eggs but he could not eat them, was he mad with me. I hid them and will give them to him at Easter as to much chocolate sends him crazy.

We got back to the hospital with Brody starving and wanting to have Mac Donald's, he went to sleep and they did the scan, then we had to wait till he woke up and we then went and got him his mac Donald's as he had to wait for so long. We got home at 7.00pm. We are now tired and buggered.
