Sometimes it's more than ice cream

What do you do when your little boy has had 3 very traumatizing and disappointingly unsuccessful attempts at getting an Iv in the past 8 hrs and then he asks you to get him some grasshopper ice cream? But the store you can walk to quickly doesn’t have any? You improvise something called “Boston grasshopper ice cream” - chocolate mint candy + Edys vanilla. He loved it and ate for the first time in 24 hours. My poor guy will probably be going to the OR to get a PIC line soon. Anesthesia is so tricky right now but he needs access for his Milrinone, Iv meds and blood draws. They are talking about sending us back to the icu 😩 We just got to step down at 2:30.
On a happy note it was so nice to see Susan. Thank you for the toys and food and good company ❤️
