Lyric has had a pretty rough morning being uncomfortable with two IV's, one in her leg and the other in her foot. She has had a full morning and afternoon without eating or drinking in preparation for a second surgery. This time they will add a picc line and take out the IV,s. A picc is a more permanate line, similar to her central line that was removed. This line will enter her arm and travel through a vien to just before it enters the heart. The reason for this line is, being more permante we may be able to treat her infections with antibiotics through this line at home. It turns out that she actally tested positive for three infections which we have not received two negative blood cultures on. That means the antibiotics have already begun to work. She will be going down to the O.R. Shortly.
