Day of Testing for Ben

We are getting ready to wake up Benji for a day of testing at the DeVos Children's Hospital. We need to be there at 9:15am. Benji can't eat or drink - so we are waiting till the last minute to wake him. The proceedure is scheduled for 10am. The pediatric sedation team is ready for him - we pray that Benji is cooperative and that his heart stays strong!
Ben is having an ABR (Auditory Brain Stem Response) Test done. It is to measure what sounds are getting through his ears to his brain. It is not a difficult test but he needs to lie totally still. That is why they are sedating him. Our prayers are that his heart does good under sedation and that he doesn't fight when they are putting him under.
Hope to be home early this afternoon - Thanks for your prayers!
