The Echocardiogram

Hayden had her dreaded echocardiogram yesterday. Everything went well and she was such a big girl!! They told me to try to get her to sleep......they apparently don't know this 2 yr old very well. She sleeps, just on her time, in her bed, and doesn't always need a nap :) After about 25 minutes of trying, I finally told the nurse that she was not going to sleep and that she was becoming hostile with me for trying to rock her. You know, SHE'S A BIG GIRL!! Atleast, that's what she thinks and tells me all the time :) So, the nurse said she'd try doing it. Hayden laid extra still and watched the screen and then when she started to get restless, the nurse pulled out her phone and an episode of Dora. It worked like magic. She was able to finish with no problems. We have to wait for Cooks Children's Hospital to look at the pics and make a decision on what to do next, if anything. This being the week of Christmas, we may not know anything until next week. Thanks for all the prayers during this difficult time. Keep your fingers crossed that we won't need to do anything else :) And A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

Please excuse her hair.....oh and the open mouth.....
