picc line clot

day 43:
so last night when they went to flush my picc, one of them wouldn't flush and had no drawback (they couldnt pull blood back from it) so they called the picc team last night and they suggested something called cathflo. apparently i had a clot somewhere in it? we had to wait until today for it to be approved by doc towers.

i woke up this morning and got put on the monitors. one of simms's babysitters, maloy dorman, swung by and brought slut brownies (major score) and diapers and wipes for the twins!!! thank you so much maloy!! i got called up for my ultrasound after she left. i made sure to ask the girl scanning me about the head size and she measured their heads for me. baby a's head was 3 weeks behind (1 cm smaller), so my suspicions were correct. everything else looked great. i asked doc towers about it and he wasn't worried since everything else has looked so good. these boys are coming on 10/22 and one is just going to be smaller. they're pretty crammed in there now but she tried to get me a few 3d pictures. the picture on the left baby has a knee smashed into his face and they both look really pissed off…
after i got back from the ultrasound i found out doc towers had approved the cathflo and they went ahead and put it in the line. they let it sit for 30 minutes and then came back to test it to see if it had worked, it had! my mom came up with simms and lunch in the middle of all this. he loved watching. after they fixed my clogged line, i looked down and noticed the other line was full of blood! so i had to call out and ask for a nurse. she came and flushed it, its been fine ever since. not sure what the deal with that was?

i walked mom and simms out after lunch. we stopped and did bubbles until simms felt the need to stop and pick up a cigarette butt. i was all





not enough hand santizer in the world for that nastiness. his pants were so tight today that he could barely walk, haha! guess we need to put them up and save them for the twins. pretty sure they are size 3-6 months (he's 13 months.) when i got back up from walking them out i got a text from a friend that she was in labor just a few doors down! she let me pop in and say hi. i didn't stay long because i told her she needed to rest. she ended up having the baby like an hour later! i thought i was going to have a friend up here for a little while but i guess not! get it girl!

looking forward to seeing my sweet husband tonight. we will NOT be eating cafeteria food after last night's nastiness, haha.

9 days left.
