SECOND TRY TO USE PORT-A-CATH, I HAVE A VERY BRAVE DAUGHTER

SOME HAVE ASKED "HOW DOES A PORT-A-CATH WORK SO I THOUGHT I'D TAKE SOME PICTURES TO SHOW YOU. NOTHING STICKS OUR OF HER SKIN ON A NORMAL DAY, ONLY WHEN SHE IS RECEIVING MEDICINE

KATIE IS GETTING CHECKED BEFORE THEY START. I FINALLY GOT A SMILE OUT OF HER, SHE IS STILL NERVOUS HOPING THINGS WORK. YOU CAN SEE THE WHITE CREAM ON HER CHEST. ITS CALLED EMLA CREAM, IT HELPS NUMB THE AREA SOMEWHAT. THE NEEDLE ISN'T SMALL THEY HAVE TO USE SO WE USE EMLA TO NUMB IT AS MUCH AS WE CAN! WENDY ONE OF HER FAVORITE NURSES IS READY TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY. I MADE SURE ONE OF OUR FAVORITES WERE WORKING WHEN I SCHEDULED HER.

FIRST TIME AND IT WORKED, THE MINUTE KATIE STARTED ACTING LIKE THERE WAS A WEIRD TASTE IN HER MOUTH I KNEW WE WERE IN AND GOOD. SHE ACTUALLY DOES GET A WEIRD TASTE IN HER MOUTH LIKE A METAL TASTE, ITS FROM THE FIRST STUFF THEY HAVE TO PUT IN BEFORE THE MEDICINE, THAT WAS A GREAT SIGN BECAUSE WE WERE ALL HOLDING OUR BREATH.

SHE HAD A REACTION TO THE TAPE SO WE THINK WE HAVE THAT FIGURED OUT FOR NEXT TIME, BY THE END HER SKIN WAS ALL RED AND RASHY. ONCE THE INFUSION IS OVER THEY PULL OUT THAT WHITE THING IN THE CENTER AND THE TUBING AND EVERYTHING IS DISCARDED. SHE JUST HAS THE SCAR YOU CAN SEE AT THE TOP BY THE TAPE LEFT WHEN ALL IS OVER AND DONE.
