Surgery for Fletcher...

Fletcher is still having problems with his port. The skin has not gown back over it and they have to keep a special dressing on it. And the dressing really bothers him and he just scratches at it anytime he can get his grubby little hands on it. We have come to the decision to remove Fletcher's port and NOT replace it. He's been doing so well lately and the last time he had Pamidronate they used a peripheral line and he did great. So there is really no need to have immediate access to a line. And it will give his little chest more time to recover from all the lines he's had over the last four years. The port that he has now is in his leg and it's been a pain in the behind since the day he got it. So, Thursday morning we'll go to Children's Hospital and Dr. Tuggle will remove that nasty ol' port. It's kind of a relief to think about one less thing to worry about with our boy. We'd appreciate your prayers. I'll keep you posted. Thanks!
