Hospital visit, aka a few things I hope I never have to see again

Zachary has a bad bacterial infection (Bactremia) and our pedi sent us right to the ER for testing and IV antibiotics.

We got to experience a few things I hope I don't have to see again:
- urine catheter
- IV line put into his hand
- nasal swab

surprisingly the IV bothered me less than the cath (during which I think I cried as much as he did). overall it was just awful. He was so good and so brave. we were there for 4 hours and have to go back to the dr. office tomorrow & the next day for 2 more shots of the antibiotics.

my poor baby!!!!!

    Ugh. I've heard all of the above are just terrible to witness. Our good friends, their son @ 8 weeks old was in the hospital for a week and had all of the above done to him. There was also lots of b/w done over several days etc.

    Just terrible. Poor, poor Zachary :'( ::hugs:: to him  

    They should NOT have to endure things like that being so little

    I'm sorry he had to go through any of that. Catheters suck for adults and I can only imagine having it done as a baby .... poor thing. Hope he feels better really soon.

    Hope he gets better. Jillian was really sick a week and half ago and they had to do blood work and do antibotics by shots it was the worse.
