Off to Children's for another test/procedure!

We have a loooonnnngggg day ahead of us tomorrow.  We head into Children's for Mason's first Infant Pulmonary Function Test.  Basically, it is a test for his lungs.  We should have a baseline for what his lungs can do.  This will be a test that we will do on a yearly basis to monitor his lung function.  The video below is a snippet of what will be happening tomorrow.


We have to wake Mason at 4am to give him something to eat.  He then can have only water until 9am.  After 9am he gets nothing.  The test is set for 11am.  Oh and they would like us to keep him awake from 4am until the test!  HA!  This will be fun. The test will take 3-4 hours so they want him to be good and tired so he won't wake up, even though they are giving him some medicine to help him sleep.

Oh did I mention he is also getting a chest x-ray 45 min prior to the test.  Those are "fun" even when he is rested!  

I will post more about Mason's experience and results tomorrow once we are home.  We plan on taking pics and video.

Well, off to bed...we are all going to be tired tomorrow!
