This is a picture of Kellie (take note of her little belly, she is at 17 weeks now), with her Zofran PICC line. As mentioned in the earlier post, she was put on the pump, but she was having difficulties with the needles and being stabbed everyday, and getting some bad swelling, that she begged for a PICC line. For those that don't know what that is, (We know it well as Rick had 3 of these) it is a surgical procedure where they insert a tube in her main artery in her arm and into her heart. The meds then go directly into her blood stream, 24/7. She had the pump for about 8 weeks. And since she was doing much better, it was finally taken out on October 27th, 2009
However, because Kellie continued to Black out, the Cardiologist put her on a heart monitor on October 22, 2009 to be worn 24/7. So for a few days she carried around two different monitors. The heart monitor will stay on her for 3 weeks, just to make sure there is nothing wrong there. They expect everything to be fine, just ruling out at this point.
AND now for the latest update!!!!!
On October 26th, 2009 Kellie went back to the doctor for a check up (which is done weekly) and they decided to do the ultra sound a week early. And guess what they found out?????
Yes, to everyone's surprise, they are definitely NOT having a girl! They are having a little BOY!!!!! We are all really excited, but now it's time for them to pick out a boy's name......
