Middle of Week 4 - Sluggish line

Jessie has a double lumen port which means there are basically two different lines to access her veins. One of them has had some constant resistance when the nurse flushes it at the end with heprin. When Jessie said that she could feel it in her neck the other day during the flush, the nurse checked with the doctor and they decided to do a dye xray the next day to make sure the line was still in the right place.
Long story short, it's in the right place, but they think it may have some "gunk" in the line. They decided to try a medicine called TPA (a clot busting drug) to clean out the line. They put it in the line last night before we left and are going to draw it out today when we go back. Keep your fingers crossed!

Since the. Arsenic treatments started Jessie has been having several hot flashes per day and feeling a but sluggish herself. Welcome to my world!! Poor thing. That stinks at 18, but she never complains. What a trooper.
