Port

Abby is still in the hospital. She is doing fine, but there has been a turn of events. Her port may be failing. The nurses are able to push fluids in the line to flush it, but unable to draw blood from the port. Medication has been put in the port to try and clear the line. We will know later today if that was successful. In addition, her blood counts are still low and not rising. Blood tests today will determine if she needs another transfusion. 

This visit to the hospital Abby has been pretty bored. The playroom is only open for 2 hours each day on the weekend. She has to wear her mask while in the playroom since her counts are so low, she had a fever and she is very susceptible to infection. She doesn't really like wearing her mask, so her visit to the playroom yesterday was brief.
