Broviac Comes Out
On Wednesday morning, Dr. Johnson – the surgeon who put the broviac catheter in – removed the broviac. We didn’t get a chance to talk to Dr. Johnson, but we did talk to “T”, the resident who was on when the broviac infiltrated and when it was taken out, and she said that it was a good thing that they waited for Dr. Johnson because he said that it was hard to take it out.
The weird thing is that Nadine, Logan’s nurse, tried to flush the catheter once they took it out and it didn’t look like it was leaking anywhere. She’s thinking that poor Logan’s vein must have just given out and caused the line to infiltrate. 
At least it’s out, he has a new PICC line in to replace it, and he’s feeling much better now.
