Dorothea is still on the vent and very tired this morning. She did wake up enough to say "Good Morning" and smile. Her diarrhoea seems to be less today.
They did a chest x-ray this morning and were back an hour later saying the film had slipped and they needed another. As they were taking it The tech said "OK, Take a big breath and hold it." which seemed strange as she was on the Vent.
The second x-ray showed that her Picc line had shifted and needed to be redone. The nurse came in and pulled the old picc line out and moved up her arm to a new site and inserted the new picc line. She checked with an echo machine and thought all was well but then called for another x-ray to check. The x-ray showed that the picc was in the jugular and needed to be moved. After some time of moving back and forth she found out that she was running into the dialysis cath so had to try again. At last a new x-ray and good location.
Donna is back in town but made me do this one.
More tomorrow.
