Jay's PICC line is out. After two months of daily IV antibiotics, he is done. This is actually two weeks earlier than we thought, but his Infectious Disease doctor called last week and said four weeks after surgery should do the trick. His blood work looks good and there is no sign of any more infection. So today we went to Logan Regional and they removed that nasty PICC line.
We are actually grateful for the PICC line. It allowed Jay to do his own antibiotics for eight weeks; he only had to go in once a week for bloodwork and a dressing change. But it was annoying and uncomfortable. So it's good to have it gone.
One more week and he has his followup appointment with the heart surgeon. Hopefully that appointment will see him cleared for driving. We can only hope!
