Today I got good news from the doctor. He gave me the okay to stop fluids soon! I had good labs this week and have been doing well on one bag a day for the past two weeks with limited vomiting so he thinks I will be okay without fluids. I have three bags left so will run them tonight, tomorrow and Saturday and then be done! I can't wait. I have to go all next week without fluids but still flushing the line with Heparin and the doctor would like me to have a week with pretty much no vomiting and good labs. If that is the case, then he will give the okay to get my PICC pulled the following week!
So I'll get through these next three nights of running fluids and see how next week goes. My nurse will come on Tuesday so I will find out labs on Wednesday and hopefully know middle of next week when/if I will be rid of the PICC! I will update then. :)
Oh and apparently I have "popped." Today four people stopped me at work and asked if I was expecting! Yikes! I am apparently looking large and in charge :)
