iv issues
OK so my 33 weeker is doing well all things considered. He's off cpap, finished phototherapy & on hi flow at room air. He's not being fed currently not tolerating it & has iv issues. They've now tried picc line 6 times and failed. There is one in umbilical cord area but it won't last. There are more invasive option but they only expect him to be there 3 more weeks at most possibly 2. He blows ivs in 12 hours easily. Anyone have these issues. It's so frustrating. Even his brady are getting further and further apart. They are supposed to try feeds again but are discussing options. I'm not sure what that will mean. Any experiences? To top it all off an older child broke their arm yesterday.

After 10 months of ttc via medicated IUIs and two early losses, we finally got our boys- Perfect premie twins born 5/27/14.
Along with being easier to put in, it's messed with less bc they can't move it like an arm/leg,
