Hannah getting chest xrays at LeBonheur

Our precious girl underwent several tough days this week.
Below are pictures I took with my cell phone as the poor baby was getting chest xrays.

She was placed on a little bike-type seat with her legs hanging down.
Her arms were fully extended above her head, and the plastic cylinder that surrounded her was closed around her with velcro straps.
The technician said it was good for her to cry, because when she took her deep breath to howl, she would get her best xray with lungs fully expanded. Well, Hannah did howl!

When Jessica saw these pictures moments later, she said Hannah looked like she had been canned!

On a cell phone, it DOES look like she was canned! Lol.

Oh my! I remember those torture x-rays with Emily. It is so hard to watch a little one hurt.
Praise the Lord that Hannah is doing better! A spinal tap is scary stuff.
Praying that mom is recuperating too.I'm sure your children are willing to hold the baby while you rest up :-) May the God of all peace give you rest and restoration.

I remember when YOU had x-rays as a baby. It is always so difficult when a small child is ill. We are just so happy that she is finally back home and "out of her can." We love her! (We love ALL of you!)
