Janelle and her parents took Kourtney to Abbotsford Hospital this afternoon to have her PICC line removed. Long story short, they were unfamiliar with the type of line Kourtney had, they were not able to remove the line and the sterility of the line was been compromised. So . . . now it's off to Children's Hospital for an unplanned emergency procedure to remove the line.
Cancel that!
Doctors are not available to remove the line at Children's Hospital tonight so we wait . . . until some time tomorrow. We understood that it would be a simple procedure; use a little Emla cream and pull the line out, but every one we speak with tell us it's more complex than they can handle. She will likely have to "go under" to get it removed. So . . . now it's off to an unscheduled emergency dressing change tonight at home. We'll be awaiting the call from Children's Hospital some time tomorrow and want to be ready.
