Leaving without being admitted.
We lucked out and the line placement is still good. The cuff that holds his line in is displaced and he will probably be a little sore for a few days. His site was always in such perfect shape and now he has a bulge there, but that is better than a line replacement. We will have to keep an eye out for any changes over the next few days, but it looks like we lucked out and are going to have to miss being admitted to Milwaukee.
Would it be considered abuse to force your child to sleep in a straight jacket?

What is better than a trip to the hospital?
How about two trips to the hospital.
Sam decided he didn't like his central line today and tried to remove it. Sounds worse than it is. Looks like the line is fine. Mom was pretty panicky as she thought the cuff (that hold his line in) was above the skin. Looks like it is just a sleeve that is above the cuff that is exposed. First chest xray looked OK, but Milwaukee (and Mom and Dad) aren't 100% convinced so we are headed back to the hospital for a second check with a more detailed picture.
We will post more details as soon as we can.
