The boys PICC (Pperipherally Inserted Central Catheter) lines were attempted today. They are a long term catheter to deliver meds and fluids. They insert a needle and thread a catheter up to the heart. Jake's went in fine on the first try and placement was great...right next to the heart. Nik's went in fine as well but kept threading up his neck instead of to the heart. They tried re-threading 3 times with x-rays each time to check for placement. But each time it kept going up the neck. They decided after 1 1/2 hrs of trying that they would stop and try again tomorrow. Poor baby just can't catch a break!!
Both boys breathing is great and their blood levels are all good!
Thanks for following the boys progress, and for your thoughts and prayers.
