So this morning when Evan woke up I went to change his diaper... and saw a spot of dried blood on his onesie. Once his clothes came off it looked like this.
It shouldn't be bloody at all what was his body thinking bleeding like that? Probably that he's a hemophiliac or something crazy like that. So we had to call to find out exactly what the plan was... big problem. I guess our pediatricians office hadn't been in contact with our hematologist about Evan's suspected infection and the hematologist wasn't too happy about it. So I spent the morning on the phone with the hemophilia nurse and our pediatrician's office.
Then I spent the afternoon at the pediatrician's office and the hospital. They drew blood out of his port to check to see what exactly was going on in there with the infection. Then they infused some antibiotics into his port, then they pulled out his huber needle and sent us home. Yay home!! I immediately went to wash off the hospital grime. There is a message on the answering machine reminding me of Evan's follow-up appointment tomorrow. This kid is trouble. Anyone want him dropped off on their doorstep?

I'll take him. 6 weeks and I get to meet the trouble maker. Who would have through a baby could cause you so much trouble and not even know it...
You know you can always send them all up here. We could give you a break.....but you may never get them back.
Zander ALWAYS bleeds when we take his needle out. We always put his gauze on and then wrap his whole chest in coban, If we use a bandaid he bleeds it off. His nurses say it isnt normal but the bleeding isn't the end of the world...good luck!
Thanks for the tip on the coban... that is so much better than a bandaid anyways because his skin reacts to the adhesive on bandaids.
