DAY 82

Ethan's doing well these few days.
He still has temp spikes daily for a short period, and his liver & spleen are still enlarged. But he seems quite comfortable and is pretty smiley.

Look, his roman sandals:




They took out his long line on Tue. It's been over a month since it was inserted, and was due to be removed lest it causes an infection. And they didn't want to put in a new line when he's still having fever. So we have to use plugs for his IV meds and nutrition. These plugs only last a day before the area starts to swell. Then the docs have to off the plug in question and set a new one. They finding it harder to find usable veins on the limbs.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there's no fever tomorrow so that they can put in a long line on Mon. And end the daily prickings.
I know Doc T will be thankful, for one. She must be stressed out whenever we insist for her to set plugs/draw blood, cos she's the only few we trust. No more incompetent house officers (or docs of any level for that matter) since the last blotched job. I'm still kicking myself for letting that HO attempt to set the plug. She's not going anywhere near my baby again with a needle.
