Ice cream for breakfast

As promised. If Junie could be perfectly still for the entire minute of the CT scan, she would not have to be sedated. Of course, we wanted to avoid this if at all possible!

So, last night we set the timer and practiced being still. Like I said, being still does not come easy for Junie! I told her if she could do it, she could pick out a treat. Her choice - extreme moose tracks ice cream (smart girl!).

She did move around last night and I thought when we were actually in the CT room, with the tech and all the intimidating equipment, there was not such a good chance of her sitting still without the sedation. But she was super brave and they got a perfect scan. She did have a deep indentation from where my thumb was holding her chin, but a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do!

Love this girl so much and with all she's been through in her short little life, am always amazed at her ability to trust!

Once again, so proud of my girl!
