[Eye on the Baby (and Toddler and Preschooler)] Isotoped

[becca]

We left around 6am and got to Cincinnati Children's around 9:15am. Ben and his mamma hightailed it to radiology while Grandma Linda got the girls dressed in the parking garage. There were all sorts of toys and fun people from Child Life hanging around the waiting area. Ben had a blast. Once he was called back by the nuclear tech there were more toys and his own personal Child Life specialist waiting for him in the radiology suite. He put up a respectable fight getting the isotope injection, but was very good being still for the scan right after (pic below). Next is a urinalysis to check for proteins. He has about an hour wait before his first blood draw and then will have three more every half hour thereafter. Otherwise he will be hanging out being his fun, charming radioactive self.
