Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hi everyone THis is --Malisa's friend. She asked me to update to let you all know that she was admitted late this afternoon to HUP after her appointment in surgery clinic. She continues to have severe rigors, generalized weakness, etc with flushing the ports. Overall, she is not feeling great. Cultures are still negative and she is fever free (thank goodness). Both the surgeons and ID docs suspect that the line is infected so they will pull the line Friday. One of the double lumens did block after they drew cultures in clinic today. So only one of her double lumens isworking. She was also getting a peripheral IV tonight. Malisa is scheduled to go to IR Fri am to get a new temporary double lumen PICC line in her chest. She hopes to be home by Mon or Tues as she lots to do with her wedding ceremony approaching very soon. Please pray that they can get a line in Malisa quickly and easily and that it is as painfree as possible. Hugs- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
