Well... the MRI is done and M did very well.

It wasn't a regular MRI, as they had to insert a needle into his hip joint and fill the joint full of some type of contrast solution before doing the scan. They numbed his hip for the procedure, of course, but it was (and is!) still uncomfortable... His hip feels " full" and stiff.

Thankfully, he's been at Children's Hospital enough he doesn't stress too much about being there...

I even caught him dozing while waiting for his appointment ...



He handled the big needles they needed to use for the contrast well, and wasn't at all anxious about all the massive machines surrounding him..



M was going to watch Jumanji during the MRI (there is a tiny screen in the helmet kind of thing he had to wear in the MRI machine) but he dozed off and ended up sleeping through the movie (and the MRI!).

We see the surgeon next week to find out the results of the MRI and find out what we need to do to get M moving again.
