Living at a hospital is like living in a glass cube in the middle of Times Square. Lights are on all night, people come in and out of the room all night and things happen all night. Annie, ever curious, was pretty wired well past her 8:30 bed time. Then at 11 p.m. they decided to give her the platelet transfusion. Then by midnight she started having some mild reactions to the transfusion (itchy skin, flushed skin, abdominal pain). Then by 12:01 a.m. Tom needed a caffeine transfusion :) They both managed to fall asleep in spite of it all by 1:15 a.m.
This morning they attempted to insert her PICC line but after the third attempt gave up. This was not the most pleasant of experiences so Annie is now chilling out with a TV show. She doesn't watch TV normally so this is a happy outcome in her book. Everyone is regrouping and figuring out the next step. It is possible to do all the treatments through an IV line as we did the last time she had this procedure four years ago.
