Congratulations, Erin, you well deserved these improvements!
I surely would'nt blow your happyness but I hope you've been given clear indications on how to avoid infections as these ports and permanent shunts are open doors to our internal system and infections could be severe… Maurice. |

That's good news, Erin. I hope it really helps.
Please be careful with the shunt. In particular, if they have to change it out. I'm not saying this to scare you, okay? When my Dad had his replaced, he died three days later of what we believe was a clot that broke off during the changing of it (cardiac arrest). He had one for dialysis. So make sure they are very careful about heparin and all that and infection precautions. It sounds like your docs are good at all that though. Annie |
