Hickman Line In Place

We took a morning walk to the clinic again this morning, leaving at about 7:20am, for a blood draw appointment at 7:45am.

Then we went to the 2nd floor for the surgery.  Terry's platelets were at 52 so there was no need for an infusion, which meant the surgery went as planned and now Terry sports a Hickman Line once again, but this time it is on his left side.  He is doing fine and looking forward to no more needles.



The line placement looks a little different than last time, but will surely do the job just as well.

We're fine!

I agree with Shawna you are both FINE! Even refined and polished. Salt of the earth. So thankful the surgery went well and less needles in the future. May today bring tender mercies and something to bring a smile to your heart. Love you, Sherri and family

And......I agree with my sisters! You are both the finest of the fine and we are so blessed to be family. That is so great that Terry's platelets were good and that the Hickman Line is in place and ready to give him some relief rom needles. I hope today will be a great one for both of you. Love from the mission. Oh and thanks for the address updates, if I didn't already thank you and if I did, well thanks again.
