After 3 days in the hospital, John was released. He is home now with a PICC line in his upper arm (operates like an iv, but a 20-inch catheter is fed up the vein in his arm and across his chest. It dumps the antibiotic next to his heart).
The picc line is attached to a little machine
that administers the antibiotic 24/7.
We had nurses coming for the first week
to change out his iv bag, but they taught
me how to do it...so now I change the bag
and flush his catheter every 48 hours.
He makes it look so... fun?
