I'm an oncology nurse now and I have blown a central line when flushing it and have then had to phone a half dozen doctors/surgeons before one would come to the floor to do a line repair. It is amazing what parents can do when they have to. Your daughter is beautiful and clearly a happy child. You are fabulous parents. Take care.

We just had 2repairs done last week (the first time didn't hold). The second time the nurse taught me how to do it. If we are far from hospital when it breaks, I plan to do the repair myself. Although in the ER it takes 3 of us just to hold down our busy boy, so that should be an adventure!Nicholehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13746929191613758595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25914405.post-15912539145372763632009-05-16T20:33:00.000-04:002009-05-16T20:33:00.000-04:00All I can say is....WOW!!!!

Your instincts were right on the money," or something like that. Pretty fantastic timing for that particular line, huh? :)<br /><br />FWIW, I'm a nursing student in MA and have been reading the blog for a few months now.

And then I watched the video and realized that Dr. Brogan was the lead surgeon. And still, the cut literally took my breath away, even though I knew everything was fine.

I finally created a blog after finding yours, as yours comes up with a lot of google short gut searches. Does your daughter have a gtube? They just told us that they want to put one in when they reconnect his intestines. Our heads are spinning and I enjoy seeing how well you document your adorable little girls story! I have your blog added to my prayer blog roll for tough cookies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
