She , and her hubby are in my prayers. I , too, have had many experiences with pic lines, and you are right, NO FUN... Thanks for letting the board know whats happening.. I have read many things about CraftyBear, and feel like she is also a " friend"..

I sure hope they can fix Mr. Craftybear up real soon and get him back home.
Good luck to both of them.
Good for you getting a day or so to stay home, Craftybear.

Yes, the infectious disease team is taking care of him. He is at a big hospital and has the best doctors. He got a kidney and pancreas transplant 9/18/90.

Just scary as lots of things going on right now with his health.

Craftybear you and your husband are in my prayers. I can imagine what he is going through. Of course his case is a little more complicated because of his past transplant.

Good thing is.... God does complicated really well.

I had a pic line in a while ago. Had surgery to replace an achilles tendon and it got infected. Had to go to an infection specialist too. Had to do my own antibiotic therapy as there was no one to help me at the time. Was on antibiotics IV 4 times a day everyday for 8 weeks before I was finally rid of the infection.

I had a line too, though only for a week. My Infectious Dr is the one keeping me on antibiotics, still and for many months yet to come.
Infections are nasty nasty things!!!
God is stronger than any infection!!!
