Actually, we didn't go to Children's today, and the dressings were done this morning. We found out that Kourtney's PICC line removal is not straightforward. We were told there was a two week wait to get them removed by a radiologist. Once again Dr. Courtemanche pleaded our case, it went straight to the heart of the guy who did Kourtney's dilatation. (Ahem for you faithful blog followers - I did retract my statement about him), he had "no" problem fitting Kourtney in for tomorrow.
Although yesterday was a disappointing day it was nice to see Kourtney get out the house, even it was a trip to the hospital. We thought we would be on call today to go to Children's for the PICC removal so we were going to do her dressings last night. She resisted having her dressings done and just wanted to have a nap. When she woke up it was like the old Kourtney had returned, chatting with Grandma and Grandpa in her room decorated with white Christmas lights.
It continued today. This was the first time in years that there weren't tears with the dressing change, no shearing pain, and no 2pm fever spike. She had a quiet day on the couch, cuddling with the kitty. I am hoping and praying that these are all good signs. With our security blanket (the PICC line) coming out tomorrow . . . we are praying that she has finally, finally turned the corner.
