Logan has Surgery Again

Posted in Logan at 5:27 pm by lance

So Logan has once again gone under the knife… This time he needed to have a central line inserted. On Monday, Logan was having blood pressure issues and swelling on his right side (neck, chest, and side). By Tuesday, the doctors suspected that his PICC line might be the cause of some of his issues, so they had it removed. The problem is that he really needs this central line.

On Wednesday, Aunty Janice and Aunty Pam tried for over 2-1/2 hours to restart a new PICC line, but they were unable to get one started. In the process, his 2 existing IVs infiltrated. They were able to get 1 restarted in his arm, but had to put the second one in his head.

On Thursday, Aunty Delight tried once more to start a PICC line, but was again unsuccessful.

On Friday at around 11:00, Logan had a surgery to insert a Broviac catheter. He handled the surgery fairly well and was able to bounce back fairly quickly, unlike the last surgery.
