Mekia, did you know your baby has gone viral?

Isn't this your baby? I remember seeing this posted here when she was sick.

It sure looks like her picture...

No this isn't my baby, I shared this picture I found while explaining how DD was contained for the X-ray.

Sure looks like my DD though!

I'm sure the kid is totally fine but I would FLIP in that thing.

DD was in one when she got sick around 4 months. After they were done, I cried.

I cried the whole time my kid was in one so I'm impressed you made it to the end

Yeah it was not a pleasant experience. The tech wanted someone else to be next to DD instead of me since they would be able to hear orders. I refused and stayed near her while the interpreter was able to sign to me through the tech's screen. It was awful. I still get sad when I think about this.

I barely made it, but I kept thinking that I didn't want her to see me cry and think something was wrong and get scared.

What?!  Like a tech just sprung that on you when you showed up for the test or they called you in advance about it?  Did they want someone else that was with you or some random person unknown to your baby?  I'm glad you held your ground.

It was a whirlwind to be honest, I can't remember the exact order things happened. We went to the ER because DD wasn't breathing well and they did some tests on her while I waited for an interpreter to come. Then when she showed up, they told us DD needed to have X-rays taken. But I had no idea it would be like that when I saw the device! They wanted the interpreter to stand next to the baby instead of me, they told me to put DD in it and then leave. Nope.
