Life with your child in the hospital

Can we get Home health?

September 12 we finally get to bring our angel back home.  We are being trained by home health care to treat Halina with her antibiotics.  She has a blood clot, so we also must give her a shot twice a day.  All treatments must be within the hour of the scheduled time.  We never miss a time.  Nastya is amazing with taking care of the pick line.  I’m a little slower at getting comfortable, but I can do it.  I help with the shots and we make a good team.  We want our angel home for good, so we video our nurse and face time when we are to do it ourselves.  Eventually we are fine.  Blood must draw at hospital and our little angel is tough to find a vein.  Finally, one of the nurses can “work” the foot area to get enough.  This was very trying for us and our little babycakes.  All that poking was so annoying.  She has a cover over her pick line, so she doesn’t play with it and pull it out.  It must be bothersome to her whether warm or heavy feeling, but thankfully we’re inside and it’s cool enough.  We enjoy the opportunity to play on the floor with her play station when she is on her back and for future tummy time.  I like to lie down with her and put my head under alongside her and keep her company.
