PICC line PROBLEM-O

So~our favorite little dude is spending the night in the CICU tonight. The IV team came in to change the dressing on his PICC line and it broke! It bled and was a mess. They put in a PIV so that he could continue to get his Milrinone. Policy states that you can only get Milrinone through a PIV if you are in the unit. They tried to rush him into the IR for immediate care but they had another little kiddo in there and they weren't going to be able to get him in until 2 am. Needless to say they decided that it could probably wait until the morning.
We just had a bunch of back and forth regarding this line earlier today. Change it...don't change it...make it bigger....can't make it bigger....need new line....too risky to put in new line....You get the idea.
So.....it was determined that this PICC line would stay in until he has the transplant and then a line would be put in through a vein in his upper body.
Of course....Joshua complicated things....I SWEAR it is the Garrison in him. :-) LOL
I don't know what they are going to do with the line now. Fix it or replace it. Guess we will find out tomorrow.
I am VERY glad that Betsy is on tonight. She is taking care of the kiddo right next door to Joshua. I know that she will keep him company tonight. :) We lucked out and ended up in the unit and not the Bridge. (I love having friends!) In fact he is in Room #70. That was the room we spent most of our time in this summer. I am at the house with Chubbs tonight. I will have to get up super early and head over to the hospital so that I can be there when they take him back to IR. Oh~ I am also happy to have friends out on the floor! :) They are holding our room for us so we didn't have to move out while he made a visit back to the unit. YIPPEE.
Hope you all are sleeping! :) More tomorrow.
