Hi Red,
Is she routinely flushing the picc? It is normally done with about 20cc of normal saline. You can give that a try. Otherwise, in order to prevent infection and to keep the blood level on her meds static, you will need to seek medical help. Anything you do to a picc line needs to be done in a sterile fashion.
Take care,
Okie
