A long long night

Last night really sucked. Luca got his first traumatic IV placed around midnight and then it came out around 1:30. We got another one in him sometime in the middle of the night. Another big super sucky event. Our CT got postponed because he couldn't hold still and since it wasn't an emergency they didn't want to sedate him in the middle of the night. This morning he was doing ok, cranky but he hasn't had anything to eat or drink since 6pm yesterday. Another big time sucks in Luca's world. This morning after almost losing IV #2 we were able to sedate him for his CT scan. The wonderful nurses in the sedation clinic sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the Itsy Bitsy Spider to him to calm him while they put the good drugs in. He did great. I got a little teary eyed seeing him laying there sedated but he was calm and looked pretty peaceful. Once sedated he got IV #3 put in since the last one wasn't working well and is currently having a PICC line placed. (an IV for longer term use) He'll need to have an x-ray to make sure it's in the right spot. I'm hoping that by the time the PICC is in we'll have a report from the CT scan and know whether or not he needs surgery to drain the area. That would be the biggest sucks in the chain of sucky things happening. Waiting, waiting, waiting...
