TCH Day 2::Riding Magic Dragons

Ketamine is a hell of a drug.

Wes was sedated, really put under a "general anesthetic" for his PICC placement. Drugs of choice: ketamine (a potent hallucinogen) and propofol (MJ juice). My poor little guy went under cranky and starving, and woke up like a crack head! O M G!! Jittery, crazy eyes, screaming.

He was on edge most of the day and is just now seeming more like himself. He's been eating pretty well, though.

Currently, he just downed a 5oz bottle (muy impressivo!) and is playing in a bouncy seat Child Life brought by. He's having an intense staring contest with the little animals on the seat...maybe the purple hippo is still talking to him.

TPN will be hung at 8pm; labs in the morning (via our new DUAL lumen PICC {thanks for the suggestion, Ro's mommy!}) and we will go from there...




He thinks his hand is an ice cream cone




Poor little guy...flying high on ketamine
