I went to the hospital today for an MRI.  I used to be very scared of going to the hospital.  Now, it’s getting a lot easier because I am learning that this all helps us know more about how to keep me healthy.  The more I learn about things I don’t know about, the better I feel.  I watched videos on YouTube about MRIs and I watched a show called How It’s Made about how they build MRIs.   Today, the doctor wanted pictures of my brain.  They can’t take the pictures of inside my head like my friend Rick does of my face.  It’s a special machine.  It looks huge and scary but my mom reminds me it is like a huge camera that can help us learn more about the inside of our body.  You have to stay very still when they take the pictures or they can’t get good pictures.  I take a special medicine with a mask from an anesthesiologist to make me sleep during the test because I get so nervous.  It makes me feel tired and sick all day after I wake up.    I know I will always be okay, because my mom is always here and I trust her.

They had different hospital pjs today and I loved them.  They are usually really itchy and I won’t put them on until I fall asleep.  These new ones were soft like a soft t-shirt.   It made me feel good and not so scared.
