Today you had your 1st renal appointment with Dr Fergal Quinn in the day clinic. Dr Quinn had made arrangements for you to have a MAG3 scan done today. Maggie, Rosaleen & Luke all came b'coz your dad had to work. It was awful, we had to wait 3hrs b4 they could even locate your records and another 2 1/2 before we we out and on our way home.
It took IV nurses 5 attemps to fit a canula in and you were distraught, my heart went out to you it was so unfair. A dr eventually came and had it in in 2mins, you think the feicin idiots would have got someone who could do the job right 1st time round instead of putting you through all that distress. You sobbed your little heart out how i didn't floor the nurses i just don't know.
A Renal MAG3 scan a diagnostic imaging procedure that allows your doctor visualize the kidneys and learn more about how they are functioning. The nurse injected radioactive medicine through the IV in your foot and you had to lie still under this massive machine simular to an xray machine but much bigger, you were awake for the whole procedure which took about 20mins. Strapping you down was horrible and you hated it but they has this vtech musical projector which soothed you and kept you still, also a little help from me rubbing your hair & skin and singing to you. I then had to change your nappy, feed you and change your nappy again within ten minutes and you'd to go back for more pictures.
It was advised that no pregnant ppl or children were within arms distance of you for bout 12hrs so that the medicine had completly gone through you. Ordeal over and what a stressful day you had to go through, thank got yer little memory forgets things after a few minutes (or so we've been told). It was so hard to see you going through so much, you weren't a mth old yet, i always wished i could take your pain during procedures and my pain treashold is nil, but if i could hav i would xox
