Ups and downs

Another day of ups and downs! We arrived to find out Ethan's IV, yes the one in his head, had been lost. We also learned that Ethan had pulled the feeding tube out. Then, the Doctor said they needed to have an IV in Ethan, so a special team of technicions would be coming up from the Downtown Hospital to put in a PICC line. The PICC line is when they cut into the arm to reach a deep vein and insert a tube into the vein. It will be very stable and should make it so he won't have to be stuck again... for an IV anyway. They kicked us out to perform the procedure...and it took about 2 hours...that was a long time for 2 worried parents.

Overall, Ethan was better today. Less tubes and wires, better stats, and off the oxygen.
