The biggest risk of this next surgery is bleeding according to our surgeons assistant. So talk of putting him on lovenox/blood thinner shots bc he is getting a PIC line days before surgery makes me so nervous. Waiting to talk to the drs now. As of now he is not allowed to eat or drink so they can bring him to surgery to place the PIC.
4 pm:
PICC in progress. We are waiting. Shouldn’t be more than an hour. I will be hunting his favorite canned soup (Wolfgang Puck’s Organic Chicken Noodle) so he can have some as soon as he wakes.
4:34 His PICC line is placed and now just sitting with him until he wakes up. Procedure went very well.
5:30 pm Poor little man looks like a pincushion. The PICC means he won’t have to be stuck multiple times a day and his veins can start to heal hopefully. He’s still asleep so we are staying in the icu for a while. Hopefully just an hour or 2
