Late Night Hope for Discharge Tomorrow

One of the pediatric surgeons stopped by Paul's room tonight to discuss a last opportunity to get him out of there tomorrow with a line that would work on a temporary basis. It's a line that would be surgically placed in a subclavian vein and would serve all of Paul's temporary needs. It does involve going back into the O.R. (minor) with anesthesia etc., but it sounds good and low-risk. For you med-trollers out there, this line is sometimes referred to as a "Broviac" or "Hickman" -type line. Anyhow, after letting Paul make the final call on whether he wanted to do this or not, we are on the surg. sched. for early tomorrow AM. We may be blessed with a trip out of the hospital afterall tomorrow. I know you are praying, and our "Thanksgiving" has just begun. (-:
