Progress

We are hoping today that Adelina will be able to lose her chest tubes and pacing wires.  The anesthesiologist came by and told us that they COULD NOT place an IV even when she was sedated.  That is now the third doctor to tell us how hard the Glenn was for them.  She has little bruises all over from trying.  They left in the one that was placed a week ago Tuesday but, yesterday, it fell out (it's miraculous that it lasted as long as it did), we lifted her foot and found we were successfully taking care of her bedding,  They want to take out the arterial line in her neck but need to place an IV before that is an option.  The anesthesiologist couldn't place an IV so I'm sure the IV team will struggle.  IV placement is the hardest thing for me when we are admitted, I dread it (even going in for surgery at least I knew she would be sedated before they would try).  The silver lining is that we will likely get to hold her today :)
