Port Question

[Guest guest]

I know a lot of us have had good and bad experience's with ports. Jake

got his port a little over a year ago and it has been WONDERFUL for

him....but.....I was wondering if anyone else has experienced

this....Jake had IVIG on Friday well we had a busy weekend so my

husband handled bathing him for me through the weekend well last night

as I was undressing him (he's 4) for his bath I noticed that he had a

red " blotch " where he was accessed Friday. The best way I know to

describe it is to say it looks like a popped blood vessel. It is NOT

ozzing anything and it is NOT hot or tender to the touch. My mom works

for a surgeon who inserts ports in adults and he said he would take a

peek at it for me..Jakes surgeon is an hour away and I hate to drive

all that way for this not to be unusual. I was jsut wondering if

anyone else has experienced anything like this before?

, Just wanted to let you know that Dr. B called me yesterday and

he wants Jake transfered to the Day Hospital. Wish us luck because

Jake is not happy about it!! He likes the Infusion Clinic but I told

him we would try the day Hospital and if he didn't like it we would go

back to the other.
