Free Man

On April 14, a nurse came to take out his IV. It was a great day because it made taking care of him a whole lot easier and we had had a few too many problems that came with it. The IV fluid that was supposed to last until the last day didn't, so a nurse had to come and put a new one on the day before and we gave him his second-to-last dose that night. At 5 o'clock the next morning when I went to give him his last dose, it didn't infuse because the nurse forgot to unclamp the line after she put the new space ball on. When he got his IV taken out, they had to give him his last dose of antibiotics by giving him a shot in each thigh. I felt so bad for him, but he was a champ about it all. Here is a better view of what it all looked like.


** He turned two weeks on the day he got his IV out too. At his two week appointment he was 21 1/2 in (78th percentile), 8 lbs 10 oz (48th percentile), and his head was 36 cm (40th percentile). The doctor said he is healthy and doing great!

Jenna - It is such a relief to know Weston is healthy and doing great. You are an awesome mother to be so good about taking care of him. He sure loves you! You were so strong those two weeks.
