Hottie

Update on my hunka hunka burnin' love...

Small leak was found in PICC. Dr. A had contacted Dr. C at Presby's Interventional Radiology with his concerns and they agreed PICC needed to be replaced today. Dr. C called to tell us there were four other procedures ahead of him, so we were to just hang out at home and he'd call about an hour and a half before he was ready for Ron's procedure.

We are so blessed....first off, to have doctor's (not just doctor's but specialists!) who make themselves that accessible to us. Even when Dr. A is not on call (and he is not this weekend), he continues to answer my every call to his cell phone! And then to have them call us personally and tell us to stay home where Ron would be more comfortable until they were ready--WOW!

We did have to be admitted through ER but they knew we were coming and things went very smoothly. We left our house at 4. By 8:30ish we were home with temperature under control and the hubby resting in his recliner!

Best guess is bacteria got in through leak in PICC, which placed germs directly into the bloodstream; more specifically the superior vena cava. Yes, you're thinking correctly that's directly into the heart!

Thank you, Lord for watching over my hottie! And for blessing us with incredible doctors and faithful prayer warrior friends!
