Surgery went well today. They were able to place the new Hickman in with no complications and they removed the nodule on the back of her leg and are sending part of it to Pathology and the other part to try to grow lots of different cultures from it. I am hoping Pathology may come up with some answers. The Pediatric Dermatologist that has been checking in on Avarie over the last several months and then biopsied her nodule today says he doesn't think it is Sweets Syndrome, but his report several months ago indicated that he thought it could be. So who knows, we are sure hoping to get some answers.
It was a long day and we are glad to be home. We were suppose to just be home all day tomorrow recovering, but we need to go back in and learn how to change the dressing on her new Hickman.
She has not been able to keep any food down so far tonight. We are going to try her feeds at a really low rate through the night and hope that she keeps something down. We'll be sleeping with a bucket close by all night.

I'm so glad that the Port removal went ok and that you guys can be at home together. WHat a long day for all of you! All of you are just amazing. I'm sorry she isn't able to hold anything down, but I hope you all get a little rest tonight and that the Hickman line works well.
