7 times a charm...

I think Olivia set a record for herself today. Her peripheral IV went bad, and they needed another one to give blood through - it took 7 sticks before they finally got a good one! And we are talking the best of the best IV stickers here! Poor baby girl. Anyway, she is getting some blood today and some platelets (dropped to 17,000). They are going to try to very, very slowly wean down a bit on her vent today - nothing significant. When I came in this morning, I even got a little wave from her...so sweet! Now, she down for the count. Getting that IV in her took away all her energy, so I imagine she'll have a restful day!

Oh that sweet girl! I'm so sorry she had to go through that! I hope the rest of the day was restful for both of you!
