Connor had the dressing changed at home on his PICC line today and his skin looked awful underneath, and the itchiness is driving him crazy.
So- after consulting with the the home health nurse, the infectious disease doctor and her nurse we are off to the Children's Hospital again tomorrow to have the PICC team there evaluate his site and decide if it needs to be removed or not. It will be a long day with any number of possibilities: they might just remove the line, they might remove it and put one in the other arm, they might decide to leave it in, they could even decide to put him in the hospital until the round of antibiotics are finished. No idea what to expect! Fingers crossed, we want to be home by tomorrow night.
