Baby's First X-ray

Gwena had her first x-ray today, a routine yearly CF chest x-ray. Things started out well enough, she was happy and playing in the waiting room, too fast to get a clear shot on my phone.

Things took a turn for the worse when they put her into this medieval torture device!

She sat on the little green seat with her legs dangling, I held her arms up over her head and the tech closed the clear plastic shell around her. She screamed her head off while the tech took two pictures. We got her out but had to put her back in because we had to retake one of the pictures! She screamed even worse the second time. This is a blurry shot of the teary-eyed baby this procedure resulted in.

But she was fine after a while, especially once I nursed her!

I got copies of the films, so here are Gwena's lungs:


I always get copies of her medical records to keep in our personal files. Having worked in medical records... well, I just feel safer that way.
