How did he handle the iv?
He did decent. He cried, and we had to hold him down because of how much he was moving. But they also drew blood so they were messing with him a good bit more than just a normal iv.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Just wondering if I should expect something the doctors haven't told us. Is the surgery fairly invasive, how long was the recovery time...etc
I took care of one. Family never mentioned one symptom that could have POSSIBLY helped. They waited too long and his bowel was gangrenous. Prayers to your kid. The kid I'm talking about didn't make it and will bug me to my grave.
ETA That's great. Read your update. See a GI doc. I believe these can recur. EVERYTHING can recur technically. I don't know numbers on this though.
ETA. Sorry. The symptom they never mentioned was "currant jelly-like" stools. Just for OP future reference.

VBM, relieved to hear your son is doing well.
I hear you man. The memory of 2 kids and their clinical courses still haunt me, more than a decade since their passing. I'll make it a few weeks without thinking about them, then out of nowhere thoughts/second guessing on what I could have done better/differently will wake me from dead sleep.

No surgery because the intussuception is gone!
So happy to hear this! I had intussuception many years ago, while in college in Monroe. I had to have intestinal resection (4 ft infected with gangrene). Mine was caused by polyps. I have a rare polyp disorder. My doctor said if I ever have pain like that again, to let the ER physician know. I will never forget that pain.
Prayers that your son recovers quickly.

Some day lsucoonass will be admin for a day. Write a little code to save handles of up and downvoters. Would be massive hog of resources.

Yep.
They brought that kid in three days too late and three hours from dead. They ALWAYS say kids crash fast. They do. Kid looked like every other pedi gastroenteritis you'd ever see. But the kid never crapped while there, so we never saw how jacked up her poop was.
Terrible case all the way around. From language barrier to a shitty slow overnight doc and backed up triage to a shitty lab draw from IV to a bit of a bumbling AM doc who just took too long to initiate transfer. However instead of coding in an ambulance the child would have coded in OR.
