CTs and panCakes

Big C did great today!  He had a tough day at the Doctor on Wednesday and since today's test at the hospital required an IV, I was prepared for more of the same.  All I can say is, I love nitrous oxide!  Big C was SO cute when he was all looped up on it.  The nurses were laughing because he said he felt funny but was completely lucent.  He just closed his eyes and talked through his smile.  Very Zen.  

Of course it helped that the very pretty nurse seemed to have a crush on C from the moment she saw him.  She said he looked like her brother when he was a kid.  He was perfectly pleased to accept the attention.

During the scan he laid perfectly still.  It was a Savasana any yogi or yogini would be proud of!

Then we went out for pancakes.  Let me rephrase that: we went out for PANCAKES.  We got to the little diner and C bellied up to the counter and ordered 4 cakes.  They were so big that they arrived on two plates.  The waiter did not believe that he would be able to eat them all.  But Big C worked his way through all 4 cakes the size of a plate!  As he was eating the staff kept walking by to check on his progress.  The gentleman eating oatmeal two stools down just stared at him doubtfully while Big C ate.  When I paid the bill our waiter said he would never forget watching such a small kid eat so many pancakes.
