Sasha had the scan on Monday and nothing obviously abnormal showed up but we have got to go back next Wednesday afternoon to get the results. The Consultant was in the CT scan room as well as the radiographer but they took so many films of the different layers of her brain and various views of her skull, that it will take them a while to have a look at all of them.
Sasha was so good. She was given the sedative and was asleep within 5 minutes. As soon as I picked her up off the scan table she came round straight away, although still quite drowsy. They said we would have to stay in for up to 2 hours after sedation to make sure she had recovered okay but, since she came round so quickly and also since she is not walking or crawling, they were not worried about her feeling "drunk" and falling over as she would only be being carried around anyway.
My mum very kindly picked up the other two from school and Ashly (my eldest) was quite concerned that I was not there to pick her up, although she knew Sasha was having her scan. Luckily we were home by 4:20 which was good. Sasha was still very tired so went straight to bed and slept until 7 pm. I then bathed her and gave her something to eat and she was back in bed by 8:15 - still feeling very drowsy from the sedative. Yesteday she was fine.
It was weird John (ex) being there. When she had been sedated and we were waiting to take her for the scan, we were just sitting by her cot but had nothing to say to each other. Although he is the father of my children, I have now got over him - I no longer love him or want to be with him (I think he has driven the love and need to be with him out of me with the way he has treated me over the past 6 months or so).
When it was time to leave, I asked if he was going to pop in and see the other two just to say hello as he has to drive past my house on his way back to his place. He said no, but to tell the other two that he loves them and will see them on Wednesday.
I felt a bit p*ssed off - not for me but for the other two children. How could I have explained to them that he had driven all the way to the hospital from where he lives/works and had not even had the decency to pop in and say hello.
I think he got the impression that I thought he was being out of order because when I got home my mum was on the phone and said that John was going to be popping in just to say hello to the kids.s
He only stayed 5 minutes but at least the children saw him.
(I seemed to have veered off this tread - back to it now).
I will post more when we have got her actual results and see what the next stage is (if any).
They have referred her to Great Ormond Street Hospital pending the results of the scan.
