PICC Moms: How Mighty Well Supports Parents Caring for Children with PICC Lines

Being a mom means doing everything you can to keep your child safe. But when your child becomes a patient — with a PICC line, home IV antibiotics, or complex care needs — your world changes.

If you’re caring for a child with a PICC line, you’re not just a mom anymore. You become a nurse, an emotional anchor, and a medical advocate. It’s exhausting and overwhelming — and it’s also an act of love.

I speak with dozens of people every day, navigating life with a PICC or midline — but the ones that stick with me most are the parents. 

When a mom or dad reaches out because their child has just had a PICC placed, it’s emotional. You can feel the protectiveness, the anxiety, and the urgent need to get it right.

Unlike adults, kids don’t fully grasp the fragility of a medical device. They want to play, explore, and be active — and that makes care more complicated. That’s why parents often become their child’s first line of defense, suddenly managing sterile procedures, adjusting daily routines, and trying to keep life feeling “normal.”

That’s also where Mighty Well comes in. I’ve heard from so many parents that discovering the PICCPerfect® PICC Line Cover felt like a turning point. It’s soft and secure, but most importantly, it helps their child stay safe — without making them feel like a patient first.

When I hear back from these families — that their child could finally play with friends or sleep through the night without pulling on their line — it’s the best part of my job.

You’re not alone in this. Mighty Well has supported thousands of PICC Moms just like you.
