Rough Night

Quinn waiting for the numbing cream to take effect on his arms and legs so they can try to start another IV.

Taking control of the bottle!

Look at my new IV Mom!

Quinn had a rough night last night. He started vomiting after his dinner and ended up losing his IV in the process. We knew that we may not make it his entire stay with the same, original IV but we were hoping it would last for his last night on steriods. After a long, painful process a great nurse from the ER came up and was able to get one in on his left ankle. Quinn received his last dose of steroids and some Toradol for discomfort. He also had his fluids increased via IV. He slept for a few hours and woke up at 3 am wanting something to drink. He kept down 2 oz. of Pedialyte and then slept for another 3 hours. He had another 4 oz. of Pedialyte at 6 am and then had some breakfast. So far, so good as everything has stayed in his belly.

We had a visit from the pediatric neurologist this morning and he was pleased with Quinn's progress. We were so proud last night when Quinn kicked the nurse while she was trying to start the IV! Hopefully we will be going home today or tomorrow. Quinn has a lot of hard work ahead of him but we are anxious for the challenge!
