Today is a long day. Avarie had her Hickman out this morning and they were successful in putting in a double lumen PIC in her arm. They put it in her right arm per my request because she sucks her left finger and she does not like to bend the arm all the way up when the PIC is in it. They place the pick on the inside of the arm just above the elbow crease. She seems OK with it.
Then to make the day longer they have also decided to remove her port. Her port is the one she has had since last October that has been a headache for us almost the whole time. Since she has had an infection and the port is a piece of plastic that has been in her body for so long they want to get it out. If bacteria is going to grow again it is most likely going to grow around it, so lets take it out while we can. Of course that means that the Mac and Cheese that she ate right after her morning surgery was a mistake, we shouldn't have eaten. That was around 10am and now we have had to wait until 4pm for surgery that we are not even sure yet they will fit in. She has had to not eat ever since then. She's handling it well, but when she is like that I don't like to eat in front of her and she doesn't let us leave the room, but for a few minutes here or there so I try not to eat also, big mistake today. My head was not liking that and I started to get a massive headache. Avarie was so sweet she offered to rub my head and then when I told her it was because I hadn't eaten she said "Mommy you can go eat, just hurry!" I love her so much, she is so patiently waiting and finger painting right now as I type this. Never mind I just looked at her and she is now making a huge mess. I'll update more later I have paint to clean up all over.
