We traveled to Huntsman today in order to have them take out his central line (hickman, port, or whatever you want to call it). After one office to the next and then the next, which was at the University Hospital, it was carefully taken out. Radiology, doctor, and a nurse assisted in taking the lines out without incident. Radiology lights the way for doctor to see what is going on and the nurse, assists. Keeping the dressings clean and dry is Dale's job now. If they want to draw blood, or give blood, they will use veins in his arms to do so. No more flushing the lines, no more blood thinning injections, no more blood clots. Moving right along schedule.

We returned home, and he took a nap. Well, we did have to walk some long hallways at the hospitals--natural exercising worked.
