Hey everyone,
The PIC line is in and everything went fine, however, the doctors found some new fluid on Taryn's left side. This is possibly the cause for the fever and high resp rate. They are taking her downstairs right now for an x-ray to see how much fluid is in her lung. If there is very much fluid, they will have to do a surgical procedure to extract the fluid. This secondary pneumonia is very pesky and they want to jump on it as soon as they can. Please pray for the x-ray to come back negative for new fluid. This is a speed bump that will set us back a couple of days, but hopefully they have caught it in time. We are praying that they don't have to put another chest tube in.
We have to remember that God knows what He is doing and He has a plan for Tary. God Bless, Dave

Hey guys, I just wanted to let ya'll know, all of you are in our thoughts and prayers! I know Taryn will pull through all of this, she has God watching over her! I am glad the pic line went well! Any time you have to have a lengthy period of IV's, I think it is the way to go! I just wanted to let you know, when it is time to take the pic out, (from previous experience) it has never hurt me. I hope that will give you a little comfort when the time comes to take it out. I have had several in the past before I had my port put in. I will keep praying for all of you! I know Taryn will continue to get better, even if there is a bump!!! Hopefully there won't be any fluid!!!! We Love ALL of you, Alan, Jodie, and Stephen :-)
Dave and Traci,
I hate the we just found out about Taryn. We'll stay in the loop with the blog. Jim left a message for Dave today and got the website address. We're not far away; if you need anything at all - a place to rest/sleep or get away from the hospital for awhile, just let us know. We're here for you and will keep Taryn as well as the rest of your family in our prayers.
Jim & Tammy
