PICC Me Up!
Ian began his 4th day with a procedure that required the insertion of a pipe, called a PICC. This was inserted into his right arm (having failed attempts made on both the left arm and right leg) and fed up through his vein and into his heart. This will supply Ian with much needed nutrition until he can take his Mummy's milk. Ian also had an insulin shot through his right foot, so as you can see from today's photo's he's got a few more wires attached to him now!
