Over the weekend Sonia had a PICC line put in, which can stay in for 4-6 weeks as opposed to an IV which only lasts several days. This will allow for easier administration of her antibiotic over the next four weeks. The nurse had quite a time getting the line put in, having tried unsuccessfully Saturday afternoon, and then trying again the evening when Sonia was sedated (the needles understandably made her mad, so it was easier when she was asleep through the whole thing). She was finally successful; i was happy to have it over!
Sonia's blood was tested to make sure that she's getting correct amounts of the antibiotic, and her levels came back good, so that's great!
the last couple days Sonia has been much more verbal and chatty than she had been. she's a sweetheart! i love listening to her sweet little voice babble on and on! last night around 10:00 when i was ready to fall asleep, she was lying in her bed chatting away. she seemed ready to have a slumber party while i was just ready to fall asleep! lol
