Yes please can you find out the size of IV used?
We are going to Mexico....I have 2 other kids(1 is still a baby) and
can not be away from home long enough to go to China.
Maybe in a year or so I will be able to take Cayden to China

Jake has terrible veins. They drew blood the first day and it took 2
attempts, then when the first IV they gave him took 5 attempts. Now
we have found a nurse from the pediatric floor who is excellent at
IVs. She has gotten the last 3 on the first attempt. That is very
rare for Jake because his veins are so small. I have been very
pleased. I am not sure what size the iv's are but i will ask.
