This stuff is proving to be liquid gold – getting it in her seems to be the hard part
Wednesday Ivey had her IVIg infusion here at the house. This makes for the second infusion ran by an infusion nurse here. It was nice not driving to Emory or Scottish – almost. The nurses running the infusions are doing their best – but Ivey is a hard stick and it takes several tries, and we are in a predicament. Don't stick again – don't get infusion – feel crummy and plagued by sinus infections and seizures….or go for it again; or more than again if necessary – and Ivey feels better. So for the second infusion in a row it took the nurse, me and Taylor to hold Ivey down for her IV. This is definitely not something I can imagine doing every month. Which this leaves me to wonder, why didn't Ivey get my monster veins? Little tiny rollers is all she has, and one that gushes, but doesn't cooperate with the needle.
BUT… this time no bad side effects! We did a regime of medications before and after the infusion and I think it's the right combination. Woo hoo. And……48 hours later Ivey is on GO…
This stuff is liquid gold..!

I'm so glad that it's helping!! But it stinks that it's so difficult for precious Ivey. I'm sure they've tried everything... but I know Kouper does better with IVs in his foot... who knows why. If only they could put that liquid gold in her favorite drink! I'm glad you're back on the blog... been missing Ivey's updates!
That must be hard, but it sounds it will be worth. We are looking into getting IVIG possibly in the future for the little man. I hear it does wonders.
So happy that you have some things going well...just need for technology to keep up and help little ones with those troublesome veins...You are a great tribute to good mothering!
