Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I was just able to check Malisa's caringbridge site for today. It seems that she hasn't had the line pulled yet. This is what her mother had written: Malisa is having a little time out in Boston at New England Medical Center. Seems she has yeast in her TPN line (Brouviac catheter) and will need it replaced. This will be done later today.. Hopefully her fever will stay in the low 100;s today. Fever should be gone compltely and quickly,once the line is pulled. A triple lumen temporary superficial IV line also is planned to be placed in her chest wall today. This will stay in place for a couple of weeks and then it also will be replaced with a new permanent Broviac (double lumen) at U of P hospital Her friend, Schwenk happened to be in Boston seeing Dr. Korson and shehas been visiting with her and of course Malisa is watched over closely by Dr. Korson and mighty mito team. I needed to come back home today so,since I'm not with her, prayers and well wishes are especially appreciated from all of you. I am sure she will appreciate all thoughts and prayers. I know she sounded so wiped out from the fever the past couple of days. RH, I am sure she will appreciate your gift! Smiles, a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
