Unit 1
Weight: 14.4 kg
Nurse: Micaela/Miriam
Today you began the day by fasting because you were going to have a MRI sometime during the day. They had to squeeze you in so we didn't really know a time. You ended getting called at around 1:30 pm. You were sedated for the MRI and the whole procedure took around 2 hours.
After they brought you back to Unit 1, you were not in a good mood. During the procedure they lost your IV so you weren't getting your morphine. They brought in the Transport team in again to put in a new IV. This did not go well. At one point, I (mom) had to leave the room as I could not bear to hear you in so much pain. They did try giving you the Medazz medication to help relax you, but unfortunately it did not help. After numerous attempts to get the IV in your hands, they had to try your foot. After 30 minutes, they had a successful line in on your right foot. You are not too happy about it being on your foot, but now you have two hands to shoo away the nurses. :)
Is what your Mom didn't mention is how much you impressed the transport team, because even though they kept poking and missing, you kept watching. You starred in amazement as they poked you with the IV. I don't think you missed a single poke and you were really not as upset as one would think you should be. Today is the day that you showed everyone the guts and determination you have, the same determination that will get you through to the end.
You did eat some pretzels today but not much else. They have increased your NG feedings because you are not taking in many calories. The hospital food is not the greatest...I will take some pics soon so you can see what I mean. We have toast, apple sauce, pancakes, popsicles, etc, whenever you are hungry.
Love you buddy,
Mom and Dad
