Two nurses just tried 3 times to put a Peripheral IV in Jac. They tried 2 times in his right leg (his last peripheral IV was in his left leg) and once in his left hand (which I was really hoping they would not have to use as he has been so happy since his ART line came out and he could move that hand and arm freely and put it up to his face and behind his head and on his ear).
All times they got in the vein and then it blew out. He is so small that putting an IV into his veins is really hard.
They have now asked one of the nurses from the transport team (possibly one of the nurses that helped bring Jac to the DCH) to give it a try.
This is of course breaking my heart. I just called Joseph (who is tied up at home trying to fix a mess that I helped create!) and I am hoping he is going to be able to make it back to the hospital.
