bronchoscopy and iv site

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I haven't posted in a while since nothing much new has

happened other than 2 more doctors have said they can't help....so the

new idea is to do a bronchoscopy on my son next week. We stopped the

zithromax all summer and he still had problems with his respitory

system and some colds about every 2 weeks. So anyways, my first

question is does anyone have any ideas where they would want to put the

IV on a 2 year old? I picked up a prescription for Emla generic brand

(that the dr phoned in) but there were no instructions other than to

apply 1 hour prior. I have a call into the dr office but no response

yet. Overall, I feel pretty ok with the procedure (after lots of

reading on the web) and we will be at the hospital overnight for a

swallow test later in the day and then another sleep study...so if

there are complications I know we should get the needed attention. But

if anyone has any advice or possible questions I need to ask

before/after the procedure, it would greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.
