UPDATE: The 'port drano' worked!!! YAY!! Ms. Karen, Ms. Diane, Ms. Nancy, and I were all holding our breath. The blood poured up the tube- yes! When she first tried an hour ago, Karen was pushing the syringe with both hands and all her strength and it was going nowhere. After 45 min of TPA. It works! Ms. Karen said it feels like new :) We just finished ultrasounds, now off to xray and echo
***********************************
We are at Brenner's for Julia's 'Scan Day'. We have just started the day long process. When they tried to flush her port for labs, it wouldn't flush. She has never had problems with it before. They suspect a clot. They have injected it with 2mL of TPA- 'port drano'. And now we wait. They will check again at 12:45 to see if it works. Please pray that we can get access.
She still has a physical, echo, chest x-rays, and ultrasound series today.
