19 May PICC and BP
A jumble of letters today.
Keegan successfully had a PICC line placed in his right arm on Tuesday. So far, it is working and still in place, but it is also bleeding into the line when not in use. It is not bleeding into the dressing though, so I guess that’s an improvement. As long as it doesn’t clot off, I guess it’s not too much of a problem. His port site is definitely bruised and swollen. I really hope this break will be what it needs to heal properly.
In other news, his blood pressure has been climbing and climbing for the last month. As of yesterday, it is officially in the range it was the days before he went into complete renal failure at Thanksgiving. To say that Gray and I are concerned is the understatement of the year. Walking on a thin sheet of ice, not knowing if it will hold or shatter beneath your feet? Sounds about right. He is lethargic but still urinating. We are waiting on word from the transplant team as to what we need to do from here.
We would greatly appreciate your prayers as we keep up this balancing act. Thanks so much, friends.
