I called a little while ago and spoke with Ricky's nurse, whose name is Becky (that's gotta be good luck!). She said that he is definitely going to have the PICC line put in this morning, and also he'll have a chest x-ray and sinus CT. Whew! Poor kid! The first one is the only thing that he might misbehave for, but luckily he'll be pretty heavily sedated.

She said he was happy and talkative, and wasn't too upset about being NPO (nothing by mouth, because of the PICC line sedation)... at least not yet. ;)
