Instead of the neck they used her left arm for the ports. Her poor arms are both like hamburger due to the manipulation to insert the lines and low platelets causing bruising.
Because Deb has had such issues with pneumonia in the past, Nadine, the APN who saved her life two years ago spent some time prescribing some special meds to keep that pneu at bay.
Nadine is like a little General-she takes charge big-time in a crisis. So glad she's on our team!

Tell Nadine I stood up and saluted her when I read how well she is taking care of Deb! Continue to keep us posted. I wore my Deb bracelet to church today and each time I looked at it I thought of you...said a prayer, too. (I tried wearing it everyday to school, but one of my students reached out and caught it in a tight fist grip! Love, Mary
