What happened to Ryder's arm? people are asking....He had an IV infiltrate. They were having issues with Ryders tiny veins, and the IV's....one night his primary nurse flushed his IV, and it looked ok to keep another day or so, but 15 minutes later she checked it again, and the IV was leaking all his nutrients and lipids all over his arm. The lipids and nutrients are harsh on the skin, as you can see. It happened 2 weeks ago, and this is what happened from it. Mariane the nurse that was working felt SOOOO bad! but it happens sometimes with these little preemies. He will be ok...but there can be some minor movement issues later with his arm. POOR BABY!!!! on a happier note, he doesn't really cry when they check the wound...he's tough!
