~1000 miles driven thus far, ~32hrs of Chicago traffic.

Her leg veins weren't having it this week. So instead they put in a central line IV catheter.

So now I have to flush the catheters 3x a day to make sure no clots develop. It's FREAKY: I have to inject saline STRAIGHT INTO HER JUGULAR!!!! 👀🤢😫

It's a pretty safe procedure; apparently it would take 1ml+ of air to cause an embolism and I'm fussing to get rid of bubbles that are like 1/1000th that size.

But it's still stressful and gross and kind of disturbing to think about. At least Kuma doesn't seem to care and she's happy to get a treat after!

The hospital staff has been so sweet and continues to be wonderful.

After Tuesday she's done, catheters come out, most of the meds ramp down.
