Hospital day 3 9/23/22

Today was a pretty good day. She went for some walks, played in the play room, played the Xbox, and watched some movies

 

She blew her IV so she had to get a new one along with some more blood culture but, she powered through it all and did great. 

As of right now the plan is for her to go back to the OR in the morning to get her PICC line placed. There's a few variables that could delay this,  which are whether another surgery bumps her back or if the infectious disease team decides they want a full 48 hours of her blood cultures coming back negative. The 48 hours is up at 3:40 tomorrow afternoon. If we have to wait then the PICC will most likely be moved to Sunday.  We're still waiting on the cultures to come back too. Once we get the PICC and cultures then all we need is the education for us to go home with it and to feel comfortable with caring for it. So hopefully we can bust out of here by Sunday at least. Below is a picture of where the PICC goes. 

Fingers crossed we can get the PICC tomorrow and one step closer to going home! Thanks everyone for the support and continued thoughts and prayers!!
