Alex Gets an MRI Scan

The story begins with Ellie preparing for her visit to Shriners Children's Hospital for an MRI. A friendly staff member welcomes Ellie and helps her and her family check in. A nurse then leads Ellie to a quiet room to explain the MRI process – the importance of staying still, the tunnel-shaped machine, and the sounds it makes. The Child Life team visits, offering toys and a cozy blanket to make Ellie feel more comfortable. Ellie changes into soft pajamas and gets ready for the scan on the table. Calming music is played, and Ellie focuses on staying still as the machine starts its work, listening to the sounds the nurse described. After the MRI, Ellie gets a sticker for her bravery, knowing the doctors have the information they need to help her stay healthy.
