My Damien unfortunately got my veins. I wasn't with him (I'll post things chronologically one of these days, from birth to home), but they tried to insert his IV in four different places--his umbilical cord, each hand, and finally his scalp. And then, 2 days later, his scalp IV blew, and they had to find another spot, and again it was on his head. It tugged and pulled and made dressing and undressing him a nightmare, moving him difficult, and holding him challenging as you had to hold the IV tubing or it would pull.
And guess who got his IV out tonight?! My Damien! No more TPN for him! Only a few more diapers to weigh.
Rock on, my youngest. You'll be home soon.

What a relief. IV's are tough enough for adults to manage. I hatey hatey hate them.
Way to go, Damien! :)
Awww YAY DAMIEN!!!! :) I think I would just cry at the sight of IV's all up on my babe. Hang in there mama!
Go Damien!!! Hoping he's home with you soon!
Aaaaah, reading this makes me cringe so hard. (If my child NEVER needs an IV again it will be too soon.)
Good work, Damien, getting down with the eating. Milk is much more delicious than TPN! Hope he's home with you soon!
Congratulations on your two new blessings. I hope Damien and Atticus are both home soon.
