Third try's the charm

Bryce had been having some pain and more movement than there should be with his chest catheter the past few days. At this point it's supposed to be healed enough that pain and movement is a problem. He called the vascular surgeon over the weekend- they scheduled an appointment with him today. 

They removed his CVC (the second one in as many months) which the doctor said was infected and will put in yet another one in a procedure on Thursday. He also checked Bryce's fistula which didn't feel as strong as his last one did at this stage. They did an ultrasound and said there has been some narrowing of the veins so they will also go in and try to balloon the veins back open during his procedure on Thursday.
