Port-a-cath
After a lot of thought and prayer, Indie decided last week to have her central line removed and have a port placed. This was done outpatient at Primary's. They put her under anesthesia and made a one inch incision and about a 3 inch incision and the port was placed completely under the skin. It will then be accessed for chemo and blood labs with a small needle after the skin is numbed up with a topical cream. It was totally her decision and though she has been quite sore she has been very strong and brave. Now she will be able to enjoy swimming in Bear Lake in July! Have a Great Summer everyone we will keep you posted of any major events, but were hoping and praying that she stays healthy and strong from here on out....LOVE YOU ALL
