[tri-med] Re: Brain scan

Wow, I'm really sorry about that!  Do you mind if I ask if her bad reaction was 
to the drugs in the anaesthesia (like an allergic reaction) or due to doctors 
that weren't used to working on infants or Tri infants?  I have also been 
wondering how they monitor the kids while they are undergoing the scan since I 
can't imagine that the anaesthesiologist can be right there with them in the 
machine like they can during surgerical procedures.  I'm sure they have some 
way to monitor them though. 
Thanks!
