Today was a very long day. It was just suppose to be just a normal treatment day and an appointment with Dr. Jarvis. Oh was I so wrong. Addyson's appointment was at 9am for the treatment and 10am to see Dr. Jarvis. We got back to the treatment and got all set up. Addyson was calm because last week the port worked perfect. She laid down and Mavia (the best nurse ever) got the needle in the port. She couldn't get it to work right. So Kim tried and Linda. and after re sticking Addyson 4 times, they sent us down to x-rays. Might I add Addyson was screaming and kicking for them to stop poking her.
Something just wasn't right with the Port. They told us to not let Addyson have anything to drink or eat in case they have to go back into surgery to fix the port. Well after x-rays, the port had a kink in it and possible a clot. Mavia got it to work at least for a little bit for Addyson's treatment. Hopefully by next week, the kink will not be there and we will not have any problems. Lets just say it was along day(5 and half hours at the hospital) for Addyson and I am glad we are home and she didn't have to go back into surgery(at least for now anyways).
I am so sorry that happened. I am glad that they got it to work and that hopefully it will be better next week. We will pray for her even more this week and that things will go smooth. Hang in there!
