Wes made it through all his test yesterday. While he was getting his CT scan, I got the life almost scared out of me. While he was having his first lovely drink, I went down to check on Grammy and Emma Grace. We decided to eat lunch, b/c it usually takes awhile before he goes back. I was gone about an hour. When I got back up there, he had already gone back. I stayed for a little while, and decided to go back down to check on them again.(cell phones don't work very well inside the building) I was headed to the elevator when five or six medical team people came running toward the CT area with boxes of stuff in their hands. They went back to where they do the scans, and then three security guards came running. I was FREAKING out. I went to the receptionist's desk, and said my husband is back there and I want to know what is going on. The guy said go talk to the nurse in that room. There was no nurse. The guy said go over to the next room, and there was a nurse in there. The nurse said he is fine. If they needed you, they will come out and call you. I said, I just got back up here. He asked what his name was and he said he is fine and not to worry. That still wasn't good enough. I called Grammy and told her and she said you better go back up there and tell them you WANT to know what is going on. They then came out and called for the family of a lady. No one appeared, so I guess she was by herself. Meanwhile, before the guy came out to call the lady's name, another guard showed up. I am still feeling uneasy, but then I see Wes walking down the hall. I felt a LOT better, but the guards were guarding all the doors and when someone went back they escorted them. The medical team finally left, and then I saw them take the lady out on a stretcher. A lady came out that had gone back to help with her mother and said that a lady had a reaction to the iodine injection. I felt better then. Well, I felt bad that it happened, but glad that is wasn't Wes. I waited about another 30 to 45 minutes and he came out. He said that they kept asking me if he was feeling ok, and he said yes. She said, well we have already had someone have a reaction, so we are being a little more careful. He asked her if that is what happened and she said yes. The ladies throat was swelling shut. He told her well I have had this before and she said it doesn't matter. You can have a reaction any time. We came back to the room, and Wes was starving. We went to Target to get a few things we needed and got him something to eat. We decided to go to Babies R Us to get Emma Grace a new car seat. Wes and Grammy swear they moved it, b/c it took forever to get there. The sun was about to kill us. I am surprised we can see this morning. We got her a car seat. We got the Alpha Omega by Cosco. We were looking at the Evenflo Triumph DXL and the Britax Roundabout, but the lady at Toys R Us recommended the one we got. She said they couldn't keep it. She said the Evenflo would be her last choice, b/c of the way it is made. Of course, Grammy had to buy Emma Grace some clothes. She said she nnnnneeeeeeedddddddddeeeeedddddd them. Yeah right. We also got a mattress for the pack n play. She slept on it last night. Also, we put her in her car seat and she seems to like it. Of course, it was sitting on the bed and not in the truck.

We are planning to go to the zoo today, if it isn't too cool. It is getting cloudy, so we might not, but other than that no plans for today. Please say a little prayer for my cousin, Alizabeth. She has been having spells with her heart racing and trouble breathing, and they are in Little Rock today getting it checked out at the children's hospital. Off to get dressed.
