I wish you the best with little Macy! I'll keep everyone posted on Bella's surgery. |
That is the kind of sedation they used on Macy and I was in Champaign for 8 hours killing time waiting while they ran her through tests. As I understand it the sedation is kind of twilight and they can give medication to wake them up immediately if they are experiencing difficulty. There isn't any way Macy would have let them take an X ray without sedation.
I'll be waiting for your updates on Bella and if Macy has to have this surgery I might be picking your brain when her time comes.
