Got the PICC line in by noon. First x-ray showed it needed some adjustment so the IV therapist came back & readjusted the line. Second x-ray showed it was good enough. Apparently she doesn't have very good veins. Poor baby went though a lot to get the PICC line it, including getting doped up with morphine and Versed. She is a very squirmy baby and even with the pain killers and sedative, she was still pretty wiggly. I was glad that I got to be with her during the procedure. With the PICC line in, we should be able to come home after the surgery. The hospital will then send a home nurse to our house to administer the IV antibiotics and change the dressing. I still need more info on how exactly that will work, but glad to hear that we don't have to be in the hospital for 2 weeks!
The big kids left for Disney World with Nana and Pop-pop today. I was sad this morning as I thought of them leaving...wishing we could all be going together. But I know that they will have a great time, and it will be easier for Trent to just have one at home. And that means less for me to worry about too.
We had visitors today! Trent and Carissa came by for at least 3 hours and then my friend Amy came and brought me twizzlers! :) I am so thankful for our family, friends and church for all the prayers and support. It is comforting to know that when I am too tired or overwhelmed to pray, so many of you are interceding for us.
I have experienced this with our Bethel friends too. God is so good and when things are tough we know Bethel people pray!! Hang in there and thanks for the updates. Kendra
