Bone Scan- Day 10

No temperatures!!!!! Brody has had no temp all day and all night last night. We have to wait 48 hours with no more temps till they say we can go home. But we still might have to wait as Brody is still on oxgyen when he sleeps. His leg is getting better, as he could move it and walk around, with a limp, very slowly and while holding my hand. He has started to look better and be more himself.

Brody had to have a bone scan to see if the infection is in the bones. We walk down to the room where they gave him a liquid in his cords and then put him ontop of the machine. (As seen in pictures). Brody hated this, like Austium children he hates been touched and held down and wrapped up. Brody was ok at first but then screamed and yell as the man taped him up and held his head, so he would be still. It didnt really work, so the man said bring him back.

In a hour later i had to give him a med that would clam him and put him to sleep. As my friends found out, (Shelly and family and Vicki) this was a big effort for me to do. Brody would not take it and i had to hold him down and put it into his mouth. He can swallow tablets with no worries but will not swallow a liquid. The nurse and i then took him down again on the bed, he fell alseep and was so still for the scan. But his bladder was too full, they could'nt do the scan. We had to go back again when he had done more wee wee's......

Two hours later we took him down again, on the way down Brody played us a song with his gutair while singing save a horse ride a cow boy. We got to the room and he had to be taped up again. He was wiggling around trying to get free. It is hard to watch your child go through this as you know they dont like been tied up and wrapped up. But you have to learn how to be cruel to be kind in this situation as they have to run these tests to help him. I just hate begining the bad guy all the time. The scan was then completed, Yeah!!!! and we went back to his room. All the effort made him tired and he went to sleep.

We have no more results and still dont really know what is happening. My wonderful man and Brody's step dad (Bill) come and gave Brody a pet fish for his room. Brody called it Jo, Jo after the mean man on the powder puff girls.
