RobHeffoThis morning my 4yo son had to have a PET scan of his brain. This involved a radioactive tracer injected into his blood stream.
I have placed one of his wet nappies by my unit to see just how radioactive he was and so far it jumped to 8-10x background levels for my area.
monkeybuttNeat. I mean, I’m sorry that your son had an invasive scan and I hope he’s okay. But the rest is neat.
uRADMonitorSorry about that, Robert.
RobHeffoNo need to be sorry guys.
My son had such a rare form of meningitis when he was born that his case wrote the book on how to treat it.
It left him with brain damage in his right occipital lobe which is causing epilepsy, loss of right left side vision and a mild developmental delay which all thins considered is really good given what he went through.
He had the PET scan completely healthy as a planning stage to bisect the damaged occipital lobe and cure his epilepsy. They use the PET to see the dead regions so they can plan where to cut.
