PIC Line is in.

Christopher had his PIC line put in this afternoon, after another 4 goes this morning (and 5 last night) to try and get a drip into a vein. IV access is required for antibiotic treatment for his latest UTI and it also means that there will already be access for when he has the vesicostomy next week. (Tentatively booked for 30/8). The PIC line insertion was only supposed to take 45 minutes but Christopher didn’t get back to the ward until 2 hours later. He was such a very unhappy little chap and once DH and I got him cleaned up and all sorted, it took nearly an hour to settle him to sleep. I wish that I could just take all the pain and unpleasant stuff away for him. I would happily swap places with my child, if I never have to see him that upset again.
