Hickman line
The first Hickman line insterted in May was taken out end July due to "Enterovacter Aerogelas" Bacteria. Doses of antbiotics were not able to save the line. A second line was insterted , currently a new bug "Gram negative bacilli"is found and treated with antibiotics Tazocin ,Merrin IV AND TARGOCID. Temperature has been stable for 24 years. Praying for the line to be saved for the remainder of the treatments.
