Busted!

005 

I woke up this morning to a sweet boy grunting next to me in his crib, but went over to find a bloody mess!  He hadn't pulled his IV out, but he'd disconnected it from the lead, and it had bled out.  Try as they might to save it, they had to take it out.  Hopefully we'll be discharged today and it won't have to be put back in!  His right foot in the pic has his pulse ox on it, the left foot had the IV which is now just a bandage and tape.  I hope we can go home!  I don't want him to have to have another IV.  It took them too many tries the first time.  He is much perkier and I think we're ready to go home anyway.
