Emmett's Central Line Procedure

I wasn't able to get pictures of Anderson getting his PICC Line in because it was just me there, since Joe was at work but Joe has since been able to take a medical leave of absence from work and so he was there with me when Emmett had his Central Line placed. Anderson PICC Line goes into a vein in his arm and up to his heart where they can do blood draws, transfusions and fluids all without having to poke him anymore. Emmett's Central Line goes in a spot on top of his shoulder and is threaded under his collar bone and goes to his heart. Here are some pictures:
