Paul's been in the hospital since Tuesday. He has a bacterial infection, they think from the port. Port was removed yesterday and next chemo that was scheduled for this Monday has been postponed. He'll either have to have another port put in or a pic line. Does anyone have experience with pic lines?

We both thought the first chemo wouldn't be a problem. Guess we were wrong.
