Today Drew's Dr decided they would put a PICC line (Peripheral Intravenous Central Cannula) in to alleviate the trauma involved in getting blood from Drew. A PICC line is inserted on the inside of the elbow and fed up the arm and around the corner into a vein. It is temporary and can stop working at any time, but fingers crossed his lasts for a few weeks. A PICC line can be difficult to get in the right place but Drew's went in easily, that was the highlight of the week so far. Temperature up and down, white cell count good.
