Sick Baby

Has your baby ever had to have a CHEST xray. Let me tell you it's not fun. So most times if you are heading for a Chest xray on the average baby.. they are sick. So picture this sick, unwell baby, coughing with these really rosy cheeks from high fevers. All ready unhappy. Then introduce the xray apparatus. Baby sits on this bicycle like seat then must have their arms pinned straight up in the air & face into the xray plate. Then same position required but now sitting sideways. Oh the joys. And the tech. wants the baby crying gives them a better view of the lung fields. No worries about them stopping the crying. Then leave them undressed (another reason to cry) until the tech check the film. This lucky xray tech had two toddlers helping him. Thankfully he was very kind & patient with the ladies. And lucky for me we only had to do it once (today). No pneumonia. But still a sick little baby!
