Just a quick final update: the one attempt to place the peripheral IV was successful. The IV is in place in her ankle and that will get us through the night. Surgery is scheduled for sometime tomorrow morning to place the new temporary IV, again in the left side of her chest. Maggie is settled down and appears to be very ready for a night of rest. If the blood cultures that were drawn this morning are negative and the IV is placed successfully tomorrow, the methotrexate chemo should commence on Monday morning.
The way things have gone lately, we probably shouldn't get that far ahead of ourselves. Our focus and prayers are for a restful night and a successful surgery placing the IV (also that it will last as long as we need it to).
Goodnight.

I am praying for you all. What a tough day. The medical help is wonderful...when it works. We have been there with Karrie's treatment and know that you can only handle so much. Remember God is still in control and your faith will get you through all the road bumps...even many in one day. Praying for good rest (if there is such a thing in the hospital) and successful surgery tomorrow!
In His Hands,
Amy
