We have a PICC line

Daisy got a PICC line in today to replace her central line which was degrading.  The PICC procedure took over 2 hours  The central line was removed just this evening.  She seems nice and peaceful tonight for which I am thankful.  She had a blood transfusion today as she was a little dry from the extensive labs which are drawn everyday.  She seemed to like the extra blood as the heart rate and respiratory rate are back into more comfortable levels.  She has not passed her extubation readiness test yet but we are on settings that force her to exercise her lungs more/force her to take more breaths.  Daisy ventilator tube had to be repositioned today which also took sometime.  The good news is that we should be in a better position to not induce as much coughing

Daisy is almost back down to her intake/dry weight... She looks a lot more like my little girl again.  Woohhoo.
