Here are some picture of Luke. They are
kinda small because I resized them for my
blog.
Luke's PICC line-well, just the tubing,
the other part is wrapped up and a pain to
rewrap.

A picc line is where they insert a
catheter up your vein and then use that to
administer iv meds instead of an iv which
can come out easily.
The catheter goes all the way up near his
heart so it would be hard to come out. He
had to be put under for it and everything.
We do have to be very careful that it
doesn't get infected though. I use it to
give him antibiotics 3x's a day because we
are seeing if we can get rid of his MRSA.

My sister had a picc line in for Lymes
disease when she was 12..so i understand
how much work they are to keep clean snd
stuff. Poor little guy, I couldnt imagine
having one with an infant.
