Ellie woke up this morning feeling great and calling for her 'ma ma ma ma'.
As we did her normal 45 minutes of maintenance and dressing changes we noticed that the site around her central line was red and had some red and off-white discharge (on my list of yuck words).
The central line is high stakes bingo and we have learned not to mess around with it. Since we had only been home for a day and a half we took the high tech route and took some digital pictures of the site and sent them to the nurse who is the guru of line care.
We hoped that a check of the pictures would tell us that this is normal and not to worry and ultimately save us a trip to Children's.
No such luck.
We have a 1:00 PM appointment this afternoon to have it looked at.
The 'go bag' is in the car in case we need to use our Children's frequent flier cards for another stay.
Unfortunately, this doesn't get us any free trips or even a toaster for our repeat business.

Maybe a punch card?
