MRI Practice

Day 5 of MRI Practice is going well. Holly hates the ear plugs and swats my hand away in her sleep whenever I try to put them in her ears, but the Noise Cancelling ear Phones seem to do the trick. I just finished listening to the 30 minute MRI Sounds CD on full volume and she slept right through it. Daddy's sanity holding it together while we have been practicing is not going so well. I did it today during her nap so maybe Daddy could get some sleep tonight.

She did wake up once during a nap trial and called me (I was in the living room) I came in and told her they were science noises and laid her back down and she went right to sleep, but she had pulled of the head phones and sat up. At least the sounds didn't freak her out.

The first time she woke up during it we were in the living room and it was playing on the stereo, I took of the head phones laid down with her and we finished listening to the CD she fell back asleep. All good trials.

Tomorrow night we will be at UC Davis Mind Institute doing the official MRI, so I have my finger's crossed that all goes well. We plan on skipping her nap so that she will fall asleep and we can do the scan closer t 8:30 rather then 11:00pm. We have however a full two days. She is also doing the EEG, Mullins, and some other testing and since we are staying over night for the first time, I will be doing a study as well.

Wish us luck.
