6-15 #2 unedited

Thank you for praying today we really feel it! Penny's decision to blow her last iv made for an interesting afternoon. She ended up getting a PICC line (I said it wrong before, it's a peripherally inserted central catheter) just in the nick of time before her sedation wore off and she got really angry. It all worked well, we got a surprise visit from my dad, and her brochoscopy went rather uneventfully. They let us stay in the room and watch which was very cool. The cooler part was that there was nothing abnormal going on. Now we wait for her cath lab visit tomorrow. This will tell us whether she has pulmonary hypertension or not. We hope!

On an even brighter note, her nurses get extra bonus points today. They have advocated for her, gone out of their way to make her comfortable and do the best thing for her. I could not be more grateful. This is not the first time we have had exceptionally awesome nurses but it's the first time we've had them since I had a phone I can blog from and take pictures with. So to the other great nurses we have had, please check our "nurse appreciation" post.
