Guest guest Posted July 24, 2000 Report Share Posted July 24, 2000 I am on digest, so probably way late on this one. Bradyn had a port in the NICU because NO ONE could get a picc in him. It was located in the middle of his chest so now he has sort of a third nipple, lol, from the scar. The second cut made (on his neck) I believe was to check the placement. I don't remember there being a needle left in, but then I didn't happen to be there when they took it out so I am not sure. I do remember that changing the dressings etc. was a big deal (very sterile) as to not get infection. He only had the line for a few weeks and we chose to take it out before he came home so I have no experience in caring for it. (Luckily he didn't need any more IV's so we didn't regret removing it.) Anyway that's all I know. I will be thinking of Mallory and hope all goes well. :-) ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
