Home Sweet Home

Finally get to sleep in my OWN BED tonight...instead of one of the hospital chairs that pull out into a couch.
They had the PICC line scheduled to be done at 2:00pm but when the nurse came in the morning she said that they were going to do it early.  About half an hour later she came in and said that they are doing it at this time.  My sister who arrived in town last night was supposed to see Anniek before she went in so I had to call her and tell her to come ASAP as she is going down a lot earlier then thought to get her PICC line done.  Anniek was in the stretcher ready to be moved when my sister came in...Anniek told them we could not leave until her Auntie got there.  
So she had her procedure done at 10:00am and was awake and back in her room by 10:30am.  We thought that we would be spending the night in the hospital as we did not think that they were able to get a home nurse in for tonight, but they were able to get a nurse in for the night and Anniek was able to go home after her 4:00pm dose of antibiotics. 
So now we are waiting for the home nurse to come so that we can get the PICC line and IV pump set up for her next dose of antibiotics.  They were supposed to be here by now, but they are not here and the nurse is calling them to get it delivered quickly. 
Then its time for bed for us for hopefully a good nights sleep.
