- Go to SOME DISTRESSING NEWS...AT LEAST TO ME!!!!
I hope it'll come right without the IV
but if you have to have them, try for home care - I find that's a lot better than being in a hospital.

The Home health care nurses are wonderful.
My mom had two of them and they were both angels. If you can get one ask for one who specializes in IVs and drawing blood. They can do it painlessly. Hope this helps. My prayers are with you. God Bless.

I sure hope they have the nurse come to your home and administer. It definitely would be less stressful and less costly. Sorry to hear about your prior experience sweet one...

Hi Blackcat,
No, if inserted wrong, they have to be re-done because there's a danger of causing lethal air bubbles to form in the vein...

omg... that story scared me too. Poor kid. Can't they just leave the
thing in so that they only have to do it once?
