july 21, 2010

Wednesday-Well, we woke up at 6 am with Cody getting stuck again. It ended up being 3x before they could get blood. This is the last culture that we need to be negative before we make a plan.
So he decided we were staying up. Then the discussions started about the picc line. He was melting. He really felt bad. Breaks my heart. We had our NP come in and talk to him but he was not doing the line. Next came the child life specialist. She is kinda like an advocate for the kids and also explains procedures and helps kids work through anxiety. He opened up to her about how it hurts when they move the needle around once it is in. She was really great with him.
He settled down after an exhausting day and had a pretty good night of sleep.
