A frustrating Katie update

Hey everyone, well they moved Katie to the recovery floor yesterday. A very good sign and one step closer to going to home because she's so stable. Well I get a call from my sister late last night. The nurse who came in to give Kate her antibiotic left the cap off her broviac, which is her permanant IV line in her neck, therefore exposing her very bacteria in the hospital for 2 hours. Now Katies on a third broad spectrum antibotic to kill whatever she came in contact with because of that. The night nurse comes on and tells her what happened, they check Katie and realize the Broviac is now clogged, and the nurse goes about to flush it out with an entire siringe full of fluid! Cause Katie to jerk up in massive pain and scream and break the Broviac. Now my little neice has to have another surgery this morning to repair the Broviac if possible. Katie also isn't supposed to have morphene or anything close to it and the night nurse gave her codene, which is in the same family, and that affected Katies breathing again. My sister raised heck last night and demanded to be moved back to the PICU and they said no. The charge nurse said they'd only be assigned top nurses on that floor from now on. The two nurses they had who made these mistakes were new! Why are new nurses being assigned and not even checking her chart is beyond me! Anyway, I really need prayer for them. Katie has been through enough and now to be subjected to another surgery because of total and complete incompetence is very frustrating. Annie just wants to take her home and let her recover and that's going to be set back even further. Please pray for all of the family and Katie and for them to be assigned competent nurses that won't set Katie progress back further!
