The doctors in pediatric icu were not able to get the picc into iLana because of the build up of in her veins where the doctors had tried earlier in the week, unsuccessfully, to insert a regular iv.
Instead, they put in a super-iv in a different vein, in the back of her right hand, t
hat should last 3-4 weeks.
They want us to figure out a way to keep the area clean.
Hello? She’ right handed - she eats with that hand - she’s crawling because she cannot walk. And she’s 1 and a half.
Clean? We’ll be lucky if it stays clean for 5 minutes!
We’re waiting to hear what the doctors say - if they’re comfy enough to send us home,or what
On a positive note - iLana took a first step today- it was very shaky and quick - but she put all of her body weight on her left foot - that’s a great sign!
Waiting for the yeshuas Hashem that comes kheref ayin.
A guten chodesh
