Mac’s Iv held all night. Phew! No emergency trips to get a new Iv in the middle of the night. He did have a lot of leg and foot pain and stomach pain. We used up all the heating packs on this side of the 8th floor and did a lot of massage. He’s exhausted so I was glad to see him fall back asleep after rounds. The child he is today is such a stark contrast to the one that was here 2 weeks ago. I could see it in the doctors faces who saw us while we were here. He was active then and silly and himself. The past week he is another child - hurting, so exhausted. He’s lost almost 3 lbs since Friday (lots of that was false water weight out on at Hopkins.) I am trying to stay strong but I am so afraid for my boy.
