Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Hey all. Just wanted to let you all know that ph's port surgery was yesterday. the surgeon was wonderful. he said it was a bit hard that jojo has really small veins, which might be why we were having so much trouble too with blood draws, so its a good thing we didn't try a picc line first, sounds like it wouldn't have worked anyway. Jojo is not like Mallory and , in the sense that they are ok with everything, go with the flow, in fact, mallory likes all the attn half the time... Jojo is cranky, and came back in more pain than the others. I suspected they didn't give him anything in recovery... anyway, other than that, he is home and fine now, helping us (and hte nurse finally when she came for blood draws, at first he freaked out when she put on gloves even though she has been at our house tons of times for the other kids....) but anyway, so now he is happy to help clamp off, push saline, etc. still very sore and we have to carry him everywhere but at thirty lbs that isn't so bad, just wanted to give an update. take care everyone. Jen mommy of 7, 3 with CF (now all three with ports.....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
