Bye, Bye Tubies

Logan's central line (AKA tubies) infection is become worse so he'll go in for surgery on Thursday to have it removed. He'll have an iv in his hand for a few days to administer antibiotics while his body fights off the infection, then he'll go back to the hospital to have a temporary PICC line placed in his arm. It's been a roller coaster in the Neal house for the last 3 days with him feeling fine until we use the white port, then chills, high fever and nausea for about 4 hours afterwards. So we've now abandoned the white line and will only use the red port to finish out his last round of chemo. ALMOST THERE!!!!

  1. I hate to hear all this is going on. You guys are in our thoughts. Hope things get better soon! You are so close to being done. Hope the next few days go well and quick.

  3. It does sound like a roller coaster. How are mom and dad holding up? We are thinking about all of you.
