We have made it to Cincinnati! The medical transport went very well. Carter was excellent during the flight. The only time he had trouble was loading and unloading. He had to ride in a car seat the entire time. Since I would be unable to hold him, I thought for sure he would cry the entire time, but he didn't. The nurse practitioners and respiratory therapist were very sweet and let me stay close to him the entire time. He passed out about 30 minutes before landing. Here are a few pictures from Carter's big travel day.
We arrived to the hospital and were greeted by many staff members. Just as a precaution they decided to take a x-ray of Carter's PICC to make sure it was in the correct spot. They determined it was in about a centimeter too far. I pulled the line back a centimeter and they got an x-ray. It showed that Carter's PICC had migrated to his other arm (it is suppose to be down by his heart). They wanted me to pull it back again to see if it would migrate itself back down by his heart, this time it went into his neck. This all occured from midnight to 3 this morning! It was a mess and resulted in Carter having another PICC line placed today. Of course, he had to have and IV placed in the meantime. This was an event in itself. To say the least, Carter has had an extremely busy day! All of Carter's healthcare team rounded at the same time this morning. It was AWESOME to have all of them here at the same time going over everything. Carter then had a barium study that lasted about 2 hours. Once we got back to the room it was time for him to have the PICC placed. Carter has been so good today, especially saying he is running off of less than 5 hours of sleep last night. The PICC placement went great and we are now using his new PICC line. We are all running low on energy and hope to have a very restful night! Thank you all so much for all of your continued prayers. We are extremely thankful for each and every one of them!
