Yesterday, we had 6 doctors come in to see Caitlin at once. A new record for us!! The doctors went through what they thought was the next step & that included taking her Hickman Line out.
This was a bit of a hammer blow to us, as everyone knows how Caitlin is with needles (not great, for those who don't know) & the Hickman line was the cure for that. There was no clear signs that the Hickman line was the cause of the temperature changes but at this point, but it was a case of ruling things out one by one.
Caitlin went down to theatre at around 12 & was back about 45 minutes later, minus one Hickman line, & plus one cannula & NG tube. She was calm this time around as Caitlin was like the Exorcist last time around. She was sore from her op & very quiet.
Her temp didn't rise above 37.4 during the evening. I got a text somewhere between midnight & wakey wakey time that Caitlin's cannula had stopped working & she was in pain. They changed her cannula at 4 o'clock this morning to her right hand & it's been fine.
Her temperature hasn't risen today & things are looking up. She's now out of barrier so can go into the play room & where ever she wants. I'm not going to jinx anything so I won't say anything, I'll leave it there & try to stop Jess from eating a ladybird.
