It sounds like they flushed the line and made sure it was working, which is the right thing to do. Sometimes PICC lines need to be adjusted. It's always scary when something unexpected happens, tell him to hang in there and make sure they know about anything unusual when he goes for radiation/chemo. Regards JoAnne
