Clinic to Hospital

The morning was spent mostly in the waiting room at the clinic. The entertainment included a couple of clowns visiting those sitting in the waiting room. They were so cute I had to take a picture even though it was with my phone... and the lighting awful... 
Jethenro qualified for therapy, so off to the hospital we went.
But things are not going as planned at the hospital.  It was discovered that his port a cathe has shifted, and he will need a new one installed before he can receive more chemo.  So we are in limbo while a well kid sits in the PICU unit overnight and waits for the surgeon to decide what to do and when. 
To be continued....

  4. Ann,
    From what the Dr. has said, it seems that although rare, it can happen from things such as lifting weights or vomiting alot....But the cause for Jethenro's is not known.
