Weekly Update -- 2 - 8 February 2009

Yay, I'm 109 weeks old today!

Masinja had his MRI this week. It was a rapid MRI like last time which was good because he didn't have to be sedated which meant he didn't have to skip breakfast and lunch. He wasn't very impressed this time though! The whole process is only supposed to be about 5 minutes long but it took about 15-20 minutes this time. Masinja decided he didn't like being swaddled in a sheet and having his head confined. The technician was about halfway through the MRI when she had to start over because Masinja scooted himself out of position. He had to be strapped down in order to finish but he still managed to get one of his arms free and had his hand up by his head! It was actually pretty commical because Masinja's Aunt Lisa was waiting outside for us and she heard the technician say, "Is that a hand? How did he get his arm free?" My job was to keep him calm and keep him as still as possible but I obviously didn't do a very good job! Masinja was just too strong and it was impossible. He cried most of the time too and kept saying Mommy. After a few minutes though he figured out that I wasn't going to save him and yelled Daddy! It just about broke my heart and I started to cry with him :O)

That's all for now.

Peace,
