Well, surgery went well and Ashton was in very good spirits out of surgery. Then we were informed they need to put a PIC line in. Why the heck they didn't do it while he was in the OR is beyond us, and some others. So he had to be sedated again and taken to a procedure room to have this done. We thought we might be home this weekend but now who knows. He has a drain in similar to a small chest tube to drain the area where they did surgery. Not sure if the heart surgeon in St. George will remove it so we might have to stay here until it can be removed. The PIC line will be to administer an antibiotic. It will be a 10 day antibiotic so we will be taught how to administer it and care for the line. Well,one nurse thinks we will have to have Home Health come do it. Those people who now know us from the previous surgery know that we will be able to learn how to do it and ya, actually do it.
So here we are again, living the hospital life. At least now we are familiar with this hospital and the dr.s. Familiarity sure makes a differance.
