MRI cuteness

Yesterday Brandon had his MRI. We woke up at our normal time and went to the hospital. On the way I slipped him a Valium and we registered for out-patient testing at Fawcett. They brought him to the MRI room and explained to him what was going to happen. They gave both of us ear plugs and put him in the machine. The wedged his head still and put a big helmet on. The moved him into the big machine and started the test. That boy was asleep in 5 minutes, probably less. I couldn't believe he feel asleep with all that noise, it was like a jack hammer! After the MRI, we had to wake him up. They technician asked him if he wanted to see a picture of his brain. He checked it out, thought it was really cool and told the tech that it sure looked like a smart brain, and it was pretty huge. She got a chuckle out of that. He then asked her if her printer worked, because his mamma's printer didn't work. She told him that it did work, so he asked her to print him a copy because his sister said he didn't have a brain. They printed out a picture for him, I thought it would be piece of paper photocopy type things, but it was a full x-ray paper thing. I was quite impressed, and apparently so were the techs (with Brandon). After the MRI we had breakfast with Fran, I wanted to thank her for all her help. That little boy was hungry, but so was his momma. We said goodbye to Fran and went to check out the Halloween store since we had time between appointments. He picked out what he wanted to be for Halloween, so now I can go back and buy it when I have the money. After our window shopping we went to Brandon's eye specialist appointment. She was really, really nice. Brandon needed glasses and we found out he has a congenital eye defect with causes cysts on his pupils that keep his eyes from dilating. We were finally finished with our appointments so I took him for a Frosty at Wendy's before dropping him off at Fran's. I got to work at about 12:30 and squished a whole day into a half, but that's to my team everything got done. I picked Brandon up at Frans, took him to Walmart to pick out his glasses, we got two pairs. He IS a 7 year old boy. We ran through the drive through for dinner, went home, feed everyone real quick, got back in the car, sped off to soccer, left there at 8, stopped at Walgreen's and got toilet paper and picked up prescriptions. Talk about a busy day!
