No go on the PICC

We went down to the specials lab this morning to have a PICC line placed in Bridger's arm so that the infected line in his leg could be removed. The doctor was able to get into the vessels of each arm, but unable to thread the catheter all the way to his heart. Not exactly what we were shooting for this morning, but they were able to switch out his g-tube for a g-j-tube(this feeds into his intestine, not the stomach). That will be helpful because Bridger has been vomiting frequently, so he is not absorbing his calories or his medications as he should be. Since we were unable to get a PICC line, Bridger will go to the OR tomorrow to see if they can surgically place another central line. Keep your fingers crossed.
