IV Antibiotics Day 3

We went to the hospital again this morning. The IV insertion was pretty rough today. The technician who did it was less than happy that Katie wanted the IV in her hand, but since we had used numbing cream on her hands that's what she really wanted. The technician was pretty passive/aggressive about it, she kept saying she didn't think the hand was a good idea but she would do what we wanted, but it would be more likely to fail but she would do what we wanted etc. Then when she did stick her she had a hard time getting the IV to bleed and kept asking Katie to make a stronger fist when she had her hand as crunched as it would go. The infusion was short and painless, it was done before the labs were back so we had to wait a bit longer. Unfortunately Dr. M is not as pleased as she would like to be with the labs. Her kidney function is still stable but her white cell count isn't dropping, so we have to go back tomorrow and Sunday for more of the same. Tomorrow she wants labs again including a Prograf level so we need to get there at 8 again. After she sees tomorrow's labs she'll decide about whether we need more labs on Sunday or not. It stinks but it's better than being in patient so we're trying to remember that.
