Still Chuggin' Along

SaraGrace continues to heal well and is getting stronger every day. She has been very tired about halfway through the day, though. I have debated about whether or not to send her to school with the PICC and have decided against it. I would hate for it to accidentally get pulled out.

{{Shudder}}

I am so grateful to be home and able to give her meds myself rather than having to stay in the hospital. She has been great about me having to turn the light on in the middle of the night to do her infusion. She just goes right back to sleep without a fuss.
Some have asked where her PICC line is. The catheter is in her arm, just below her elbow. The blue part is where I administer the meds and that is above her elbow.

In goes the saline...then the meds....then some more saline and then heparin.

It's working....thank goodness!
