WONDERFUL!

I thought I just have to share this hospital story about Emma from this weekend... With hospital stays comes lots of needles and blood work right? Well, we had many struggles getting that IV threaded and in her arm/ hand. Early in the evening at our first pokes they were not able to get the IV in Emma's left hand so they went up to the elbow and got it in. During the night the nurse came in to give Emma some medicine by mouth. I told the nurse it was NOT a good ideas to try and wake her up to give her the aspirin. I told the nurse she would probably spit it out and throw a fit! Well, I was right!! The meds did not go it, and during the fit, the IV got messed up in her elbow and fluid began to leak into her arm. So, back down to the "treatment room" for a new IV we went. More poking in her left hand began. The nurse (who was the head of the treatment team) could not figure out why she could not get this needle in her hand since the vein was so big. Finally the nurse said, "I just can't get it in! I will have to try the other hand." Emma in the mist of her tears replys sarcastically, "Wonderful!". We all looked at each other and started to laugh. The nurse asked , "How old is she?". I think it threw everyone off when I told them she's 3! Long story short, after a few more pokes now on the right hand, the IV was in and much better than before.
