A couple weeks ago our sweet little Brody got so sick we had to take him to the hospital for IV Therapy. He was being so cute when we first arrived in pediatrics, he loved his room and his tiny hospital gown.
Needless to say the excitement was gone the minute they tried to poke his arm, the poor little guy :( it took 4 tries to get the IV running. He was so dehydrated his tiny veins kept collapsing. The whole time they were trying to get the IV in he was screaming "MOMMY HOLD YOU" over and over it was truly heart breaking. After they Finally got the IV in they moved him to a different room and got him some toys to play with.
He was being really careful with his IV at first, holding his arm over the chair so it didn't pull on the cord, at least until he got tired. They gave him a popsicle to see if he could start holding any fluids down and he loved it! After that he was so tired he could barely hold his eyes open, but Brody loves his crib and that hospital bed was not cutting it. He started trying to tear the IV out 
of his arm, luckily we had some great nurses and they had that thing STUCK good!
After trying to find a comfy position to sleep in for about and hour he finally crashed. After they got a bag of fluid in him and a little bit to drink he was doing so good they let us go home! I was 
so grateful we didn't have to stay the night. Hopefully we won't have to do that again EVER!!!
