Bad News

We will NOT be going home today. After we got all packed up and ready to go the doctor came in and told us that a bacteria has begun to grow in the port that they took out of her. The ONLY way to treat this bacteria is IV antibiotics. Our choice was to either to stay for 5 more days for IV antibiotics or have a PIC line put in and we can go home tomorrow on IV antibiotics. After much screaming, yelling, and throwing of objects we decided to have a PIC line put in. BUT OF COURSE THEY CAN'T PUT IT IN UNTIL TOMORROW. So we will spend another night in this stupid hospital. A PIC line is similar to a central line but it is more temporary (it is designed to last only for a couple of months.) We hope that this will work out better than all the previous stuff.
