Unexpected ER visit

Brocs nurse came to see him yesterday to hear all about his recent hospital stay and surgery. He also came to do his dressing change on his picc line. Broc gets it changed once a week. He was to flush it but not get any blood return when he drew back so off to the ER we had to go to get some TPA in those lines to dissolve any clots that had formed.
Unfortunately there were a ton of people at the ER and some very sick ones too. We asked to be his away in a corner far from all the germs. We waited out turn and eventually went back. I also called his Immuno dr so he could let them know that he has CVID and needs to be taken back sooner than later.
Once we got a room the dr came in to see what the issue was. Next X-ray came in to make sure his line was still in the right place. They also checked for fevers to check for a line infection. Fortunately Broc has never had one yet.

The TPA is so expensive that once its determined that you need it it has to be defrosted and only then can they administer it. Once it's in his lines it takes an hour or more for it to work. We told the PICC team that we really needed to leave as soon as possible.

We know she did her best to get us out of there as fast as possible.

Thank you again for your loving and encouraging comments. Yesterday my emotions were done. Being at the hospital with Broc and knowing my boy was counting on me to be there for him. We are so proud of Lil Mark. He has had to deal with way more than any typical 8 year olds deal with. He was willing to do his reading with or without me last night. Thank you Jehovah for allowing me to be there for my boys.
