[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 139354, member: 3444"] MAJOR {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you!!! Hopefully difficult child will now get the care and treatment he needs to stabilize. One has to hope... Is it a PET scan they are doing? That's the only one I can think of that could measure brain activity. The IV is probably for a contrast agent. They also do this with MRI but that just looks at brain structure and checks for lesions, tumors, etc. It's good you will be there for the procedure to comfort him. My difficult child 2 just had a brain MRI and he was a little intimidated by the equipment. They played some nice music for him, though. You might ask/insist that they use a numbing cream on his skin before the IV (one brand is Emla, but there's also generics). Knowing that the poke won't hurt might help with his anxiety, too. Keep us posted on how everything goes! And remember to BREATHE! [/QUOTE]
