How Best to Torture Your Child

Have you ever seen a pigostat device? If you have, I'm sorry. If not, I hope you never will. Today, unfortunately, I did have to see one and had to put my child in one. Alexa has had a lingering cough for weeks now and after antibiotics, inhalers, and a fever that lasted for over four days they decided to give her a chest x ray. Because toddlers tend to be stubborn, wiggly people they invented the pigostat...

Poor Lex was stripped, strapped, and stuck in this machine. It reminds me of some medieval torture device. If having pneumonia isn't bad enough...being stuck in this thing so they can diagnose it is.
