Anniek got her PICC line got taken out today!!! The Nurse Practitioner at the Cardiologist told Anniek it would not hurt to have the PICC line taken out, but Anniek being Anniek cried
in preparation for it to be taken out. Suddenly while it was being taken out she stopped crying and said "ohhh this does not hurt" and the Nurse Practicioner said 'well I told you it wouldn't hurt" so when we got ready to leave Anniek gave the nurse practitioner an big hug and kiss before because it did not hurt. I am so glad that we have the PICC line gone, now she can go on the climbers at recess and she can participate in gym class as the school was so worried about the PICC line they wouldn't let her do that stuff.
Miss A had blood work yesterday and again today. After her blood work today she got to go over to the Blood Donor Clinic and watch her Grandfather donate Plasma (plasma is a part of your blood). With plasma instead of waiting 52 days between donations you only have to wait 1 weeks between each donation to donate. Anniek was very interested in the machines and watching the blood spin in the machine and asking lots of questions. I brought her over to the snack table and she was looking at the pictures on the wall and she asked why her Grandfather was not on the wall. I explained to her that he should be on the wall but he does not really like getting his picture taken, but if she asked him he would most likely do it. So Anniek went and asked him to have his picture done and he said only if she was in it. The nurses jumped at the chance to get his picture up on the wall and Anniek was standing beside him holding the sign with his last milestone donation which is 600!!! Only Anniek would be able to convince him to do that. The people at the blood clinic also gave her a copy of the picture. Next week we will know if we can have the PICC line taken out.
