Hajime’s IV placement has been canceled because it was not easy to hold the radiology department doctor. Mary will come tomorrow so we will discuss about this matter with her.
Hajime was a bit scared to have an IV so maybe it was a good thing. His infection seems to getting better but still a secretion is greenish and has a bit odor. This kind of problem might become serious so we have to be really careful.
By the way, my friend Kumiko came and cut Hajime’s hair. How do you think? Isn’t it nice and short?

When I took this photo, Hajime was awake but he could not able to open his eyes so looks like he was sleeping. Actually he was trying really hard to open.
Least time, his backside of his hair was a bit long so I requested to cut it shorter. I was thinking to take a photo together with Hajime and Kumiko but I completely forgot it. Kumiko, let take a photo next time!

It was decided that Hajime should have the IV for his infection done immediately, so we will go the hospital tomorrow and place the IV pick-line.
Hajime's veins are very narrow, so it would be extremely difficult to insert a long catheter. That's why they've decided to do the procedure using X-rays from radiology.
The catheter that they need to insert into Hajime's arm is very long, so when I think about how painful it will be, I feel so sorry for Hajime that I haven't been able to tell him that they need to do this. All I told him was that he needed to go to the hospital for the IV, but he was crying and dreading it.
Poor Hajime is suffering every day, unable to move by himself or talk to anyone, and to think that he has to undergo more pain makes me so truly sad for him and I start to cry.
I pray that God will prevent Hajime from feeling the pain...
