Blood clot

So shortly after I posted yesterday's update,  Lily decided to spice things up a bit. The nurse was having to give her a lot of extra meds to keep her sedated and comfortable. We were racking our brains as to why she was not as sedate as the day before. She started checking on Lily's dressings and noticed her central line dressing was wet. She called the doctor and another nurse in and they investigated some more. When the dressing was off, it was pretty clear that the line was leaking.  That's not good because she was getting her nutrition and all of her meds through that line. Explains why we couldn't keep her comfortable! She wasn't getting all her meds. They did a chest xray and the position of the central line looked ok, maybe a little high. We also noticed that her right upper arm looked swollen. Her central line is in her right neck. They did an ultrasound which showed she has a clot at the tip of the central line. So they increased her lovenox dose (blood thinner) and put a PICC in her other arm. So now she's getting all her nutrition and meds through the PICC and they should be able to take the neck central line out in a couple days. The doctor said it should only take a couple days for the clot to break up and dissolve.
Her surgeon was also there yesterday afternoon to check out the central line,  so he did her next stretching while he was there, and he also said they are planning on surgery on Tuesday morning instead of Monday. One more day to wait.

Today Lily is very comfortable and having no issues,  thank goodness! She'll stretch one more time over the weekend and then surgery on Tuesday. That won't be as long as the first surgery. Only half the day instead of all day the doctor told me 😂
ONLY half a day ..🤦‍♀️
