After PICC line placement...
He was definitely warm enough to NOT need a blanket, but I couldn't stand to look at his poor legs. When they did an ultrasound on his leg, the doctor thought he would be able to get a good vein in his right leg. After many pokes and then having it clot off halfway up to his heart, they had to start over on the other leg. So when he came out of the operating room, he had a PIV (peripheral IV) on his right leg and then a PICC line in his left leg. It took them over an hour to place the line.

Infectious disease has a whole list of labs that they want drawn to see if anything comes back positive to explain what is going on in little man's body. His white count is crazy high, he still has a rash, and his lymph nodes still look like this...
(i didn't even pose him this way... he was just showing off his stuff *wink*)
