here we go again

Oh my goodness what a day! It ended on a low with Jonah pulling out his 2nd IV.

What a stinker! A cute stinker though!

This morning Jonah went in to have a PICC line placed in his left arm. Like I mentioned in my last post he has already had 5 placed in that arm through the years past. Well, today we learned that his veins are "bad" in the area where the PICC needed to be placed so it was a no go, do over! Tomorrow he will have one placed in his beautiful clean untouched upper right arm. When he pulled his iv out tonight the iv team came in to place another one in his right hand and all those veins were shot too. This is not good. The iv needs to be in the right hand where the PICC will be placed. Next option is PICC in the leg... Ummm, no thank you!

Nothing much has changed today which is a little disappointing. Jonah is still on a high amount of O's for what his norm is. All of his cultures and tests have come back normal, so at this point no one knows what is going on with him... not what I want to hear. Maybe more answers tomorrow. It looks like Jonah will be here for the next 14 days. Thank goodness for these fabulous nurses and respiratory therapists he has been getting!
