The PICC procedure is successfully completed, and Will is awake and back in his room, drinking Pedialyte and screaming for formula.

The IV on his right leg has been removed, and the one on his scalp will be removed before we’re discharged tomorrow morning.  Right now, everything is pointing towards discharge tomorrow after his 8 AM IV antibiotics dose, so that we can be back at home and with the Carle Care home health people so they can train us and help us administer his 2 PM or 4 PM dose.  At this point, we don’t know if his IV will be a 6- or 8-hour dose.  We’ve asked, if all things are equal, for 8-hour dosing, but we’re not sure what we’re going to get.

Another sedation, and Will came out of it just fine.  He’s been quite a fighter through all of this, and I’m awfully proud of him.

Thanks for your prayers and support, everyone!  I’m so relieved that everything is going so well…
