Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Hi Dawn, My heart goes out to you. I remember the experience well. When Cameron was born (6 years ago), the hospital I was in was unfamiliar with microtia, so they did a CT scan almost immediately after birth. There was fluid in his microtic ear so they wanted to do another CT scan at 4 months. They figured it was amniotic fluid, but wanted to be sure that it drained out so that it wouldn't become infected or anything. We did the scan and had the same experience as most others: he drank the yucky medicine, fell asleep crying (presumably because of the taste), slept through the scan while I sat with him, and woke up just fine - no adverse affects. Good luck this week! Lyn > My daughter is supposed to go in next week (Jan 16) for a CT scan.
