[tri-med] Re: Brain scan

my daughter Nejoud (18-months) had her brain MRI at about 8-months old as an 
outpatient procedure. She had a general anaesthesia but as a result of that she 
had a bad reaction. She was incubated and spent 7-days in the hospital 
recovering from it. We almost lost her and any time she has a procedure 
requiring anaesthesia we ask for local if possible. We did have it in Baptist 
hospital rather than Miami Children Hospital. We go to Miami Children now for 
all her medical needs. I'm not saying that this will happen to Maiya but 
discuss it with the anesthesiologist and decide on what is best for her. Best 
of Luck...
