PIC Line Problems

Well if you can tell by the title we have had trouble. Janene went down for here MRI for being the doner. She took Lydia up to her moms and when Lydia woke up from her nap there was blood on the carpet. Long story short Janene stayed at PMCH and Maureen, my mother-in-law, took Lydia down to meet her.


They got the PIC line fixed and told us that we couldn't use it until 10:00 PM becuase the glue needed to dry. We gave her the antibiotic at 10:00 and then tried to flush the line and it started to leak blood right at the place they fixed it.


We couldn't mentally deal with it at that time at night so I gave her a priesthood blessing and we went to bed. The next morning was filled with more drama of having to go to the emergency room to get it fixed. Finally at 5:00 pm tonight Janene is on her way home and the IV team had Macgyvered the PIC line with a lot of glue. They said it may not look pretty but they wanted it to hold. We agreed with them.

  2. Wow I can't believe the troubles you have had with her picc/central lines. Hopefully there is no more drama to come. She looks like she is starting to get some chub on her face and arms. Very cute.

Spenc and Lydia enjoying some brocolli (at least the taste of it for Lydia since she just sucks out the flavor and spits it out)
