After some discussion on Monday, the surgeon who was on call, (our sugeon is away), decided that it would be best to try and stitch Noah's line in place. So we spent the afternoon in the ER and a couple of stitches were put through the cuff into Noah's skin to make the line more secure. This is a temporary fix, and not ideal, but Noah's line is just far too precious to lose, and short of changing the line, this is our only option. Since we still have some work to do to decrease Noah's dependence on this line, hopefully this will buy us a bit more time. His risk of infection is higher with no cuff to protect it, but even if we get a few more weeks, it's better than nothing! We've had this line since June, which is pretty good for Noah, but these lines should be lasting us much, much longer.
Placing our cares in the Father's hands...

Bean...I'm glad to hear they could fix you up! Stay out of trouble, little one. Praying that the stitches will stay strong and that infections will stay away. Luv ya!
we are praying that this line will hold, and that would place His hedge of protection around him, and keep away any infection. Praying for you all as well. LOve you guys. You are such an inspiration to us...love mom
