Not much new
I called to check on Isy a little bit ago. The nurse was tied up and couldn't talk to me but the message from her through the secretary said that she is stable and they are putting in an additonal IV (PICC) line. I'm not sure if this means they were able to take a line out from somewhere else (like from her neck) or not. A PICC (peripherally inserted central line) is an IV that usually is inserted into the arm and the tip of the IV catheter sits way up in one of the main arteries coming from the heart. They are very common and she had one this last summer. It's a little bit of a process to go through at the bedside. I guess Don has been waiting for 2 hours to try and get back to see her today but hasn't been allowed back yet. They are keeping her busy. She has not gotten that walk in yet. I'm not sure if they've tried again or what happened on that. I need to be there! The info is much better than when it comes down the grapevine! Sorry about that. If I hear anything else before we go up after work, I will let you all know.
