CT Scan/Exploración del CT

The CT scan is a big milestone, age 2 1/2, we find out what are options are in regards to Atresia Repair. In Feb 2010, we contacted Dr. Roberson from the California Ear Institute and asked him to send us the specs needed for the CT scan. He would be looking for VERY specific images in order to determine if Anise's would be a candidate for Atresia Repair.  The day of the test talked her through the procedure, explained to her that it would not hurt, and that they were going to take really cool pictures of her head. The biggest thing to consider if they would need to sedate her for the procedure. The staff at Cardon's Children Hospital were very good and helpful. Bribing her with stickers helped! The test itself takes about 5 minutes, and Anise was a trooper, she stayed still for the whole 5 min, no crying! No sedation necessary for her! So proud of her!


La exploración del CT es el momento que todos los padres esperamos a los 2 años y medio, en cuestion a nuestras opcíones de la reparación de la atresia. En febrero del 2010, contactamos al Dr. Roberson, para que nos mandara las instrucciones para el examen CT.  El esta buscando imagines especificas de la formación de la cabeza de Anise, para determinar si le pueden hacer la operación de Atresia. El día del estudio hablamos con ella acerca de lo que le iban a ser. Le explicamos que no la iban a picar o lastimar, y que simplemente le hiban a tomar fotos de su cabeza. El personal del hospital infantil de Cardon fueron maravillosos ¡Sobornándola con las calcamonias de Dora! ¡La escaneo dura 5 minutos y el Aníse se quedo quieta el tiempo completo, y no lloró! ¡Tan orgulloso de mi Anise!
