PICC is out!! 11/3/22

Man oh man did that 6 weeks go by fast!! We got the all clear yesterday to pull her PICC, so all her labs have stayed consistent and in the right range these last couple of weeks  So today we luckily just had to go up to our local clinic to get it pulled. She did awesome of course. 

We had started to notice that the area where she had 2 stitches in to hold the PICC in place was starting to look a little red and scabby. We're assuming it's her autoimmune reaction to the stitches just like her head. So now we can start to put the clobetasol on it to help it heal. Kind of crazy but I'm glad that we know how to help it. 

I talked with her plastic surgeon about her head yesterday and we still aren't quite sure if it's closing correctly but we'll go visit her plastic surgeon next week and see what he thinks. We were suppose to kind of have an idea if she needed to go back into surgery before we pulled the PICC but, it was getting old and getting hard to get the blood draw back which is how you tell if there's a blood clot in the line. So we thought it was best to go ahead and pull the PICC instead of risking her getting a blood clot.  There's going to be a few decisions we need to make if he thinks it's not progressing in the right direction. 

We'll keep putting one foot in front of the other and celebrate one victory tonight!!
