Mickey's purse for the next 30 days


Mickey has a fanny pack with him 24/7 that feeds him antibiotics 4 times a day, for an hour (10am, 4pm, 10pm & 4am). It has a long skinny tube that's hooked from the bag that contains the 'juice' and feeds to the PICC line that enters through a vein located above his right elbow. During the hour the antibiotics are being pushed through his vein, the machine makes a quiet, rhythmic sound. It's rather soothing! Every day we go to the hospital to get a new bag of antibiotics and a check on the IV tube.

Prior to a shower, we wrap the arm with plastic and bandage tape to keep it as dry as possible. And that pack is always close by!

We were going to post a photo of the 8-10 inch scar on his right butt cheek, but it's a bit too obnoxious (and obscene!)

Can't you crop the obscene bits?
