Parker got a new line

For the last two weeks Parker has been waiting and needing to get a new line called a broviac. It's for his medications to go in so that he will be able to go up to the floor and out of the PICU. Its a small little surgery that they do, the surgeon makes a little cut in his thigh and pushes the line under his skin and into a vein. It is much more permanent than an IV and they can draw blood off of it so that they don't have to poke him everyday when they need blood. Worth the wait. They have been telling us that he was an add on case for the last three days, and have cancelled on us for two of those days. At 6:00pm of Monday and Tuesday the Doctor called and said that they weren't going to do his line today so he had starved for nothing those days. Not only was Parker crabby from not being able to eat all day, but I was furious too. So we tried again today and they got him in at 3:30, it didn't take that long, he was back in his bed in the PICU by 4:45. After he got to eat he was the happiest little boy that I had seen him in such a long time. He was so playful and smiley to everyone that came around to see him. It was awesome to see so happy.
