They’ve taken Angie back to the Cath lab for her procedure today. We’re at the children’s side of the hospital and they’re always so much more fun. The nurses were super nice and we joked and laughed together while they were getting her ready. Angie got her IV put in by a nurse that used an ultrasound and local anesthesia using a new device that is basically a hypo spray from Star Trek. It’s a little injection device that uses pressure to push the numbing medication through her skin without a needle. It sounded like opening a soda can when she fired it. We both thought it was pretty cool. Angie said the fancy IV placement was less focused pain, but it still wasn’t pleasant. For you D&D nerds out there, she said, “it felt like it changed from piercing damage to force damage.” That made me laugh. I love you, Angie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll keep you posted here as she progresses through the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
