Conor reporting here...
Although mom wasn't set to visit the clinic for a few more days, she went to the hospital last night to get checked out. They sent her home only for her to wake up this morning with a fever. So she went back and is now admitted.
The tests they conducted show that she has some form of infection potentially (still confirming) from her picc line. They ran some tests on the line which came back positive as well as diagnosing her with strep. If the antibiotic they give her to treat the strep works, she'll keep her picc line in place. However if it doesn't address the problem, they'll swap out her line again.
At this point there's still not a lot more clarity unfortunately. Mom will keep taking it task by task, a minute at a time, and we'll go from there. I'll provide another update when I can, but wanted to ensure everyone knew she had gotten strep and was in the hospital again.
Btw, it's KU Med Center Room 4108 for those wondering. I'll update the current address if it appears she's going to be there more than a few days. Otherwise mail is better sent to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

SENDING YOU LOTS OF HEALING THOUGHTS.
love, gail
Darn the luck.
A day on the town and now a couple days in the hospital. Well this should be a small thing compared to pneumonia.
I think maybe they just wanted to have you around the hospital more to cheer everyone up....
