I had a thought just the other day, that I needed to remember things during the day to make sure to have something eventful in the blog post. Well, I don't need to remember any little things today. Jess noticed that it was hard to push the medicine through the IV this morning during the morning dose of antibiotics. When the home health care nurse came around 11:30, nothing would come in or out of the IV. She was unable to get the blood tests. Sometimes a re-access will get the IV working again, so the nurse set things up. We realized that we didn't have any of the numbing spray or cream to help numb up the skin where the port is. Sarah was brave and we tried to re-access her anyways. It took two pokes to get it in the port correctly but we still weren't getting anything from the IV. We left her de-accessed, and I took Sarah up to the clinic at Primary Children's. Sarah was nervous about the whole thing, but as soon as she was reaccessed, they were able to pull labs fine. We were out of the clinic fast and headed home.
Sarah asked for tomato soup again this morning for breakfast but there wasn't any left over, so Jess told her that it was all gone. She told Jess "Mom, you are going to need to go the store and get some more." She relented and had cinnamon toast, chicken, and frozen blueberries for breakfast instead.
Wow Nathan, I just read the blog through. I didn't realize you'd be keeping up on it every day. What a treasure. I wish I was there to take pictures though. I think having family around may be better than having pictures. Let me know if there is anything I can do. We are keeping you in our prayers.
