End of the Line

So the day has come for the Hickmann line to finally be taken out. Unfortunately on Friday we ended up back at the hospital with another line infection, then called yesterday to make sure his antibiotics were ready and the ward had a bed for them to be administered. On that call, the doc said to bring a bag as they'd decided to finally take the line out and give his body time to get rid of the bug.

He now has a cannula in the back of his hand for today's antibiotics and another dose tomorrow, then it's back home to Clic for a manic week of trying to furnish the new house. We're keen to get the house sorted this week so we can have at least 7-10 days there before we head up to Surrey for the radiotherapy part of Leo's treatment.

Leo will then another operation to put another line in ready for the next cycle of chemo on Friday Aug 1st.
