Okay, everybody calm down. Alan has about another hour to go in the infusion.

This nurse was marvelous. And she was sanitary in every single step she took.
She took a bag of saline out of her car (it was sterile). She then used all new sterile tubing.

She took out a brand new sterile (big) hypodermic thing).

She emptied out the saline bag and she took the gamma out of the leaky thing and she put all the solution into the (now empty) Saline Bag.

So in essence, she transferred from one sterile environment to another.

The funny thing was when we tried the tape (the leak was on the bottom of the bag (as it hangs from IV Pole), and when the leak wouldn't stop, she immediately turned it upside down so it stopped leaking (we didn't want to lose any of the Gamma).

So I said "why not use my glue gun and seal the leak and then we use the tape). She laughed and said "No, don't worry, while this has never happened before, I have a bag of Saline in my car, I'll just empty it and transfer the Gamm into it." And that's exactly what she did.

Then she cleaned up my kitchen counter and you would never know there were bags hanging from the cabinet and dripping into the sink.

So what happened afterward????

I fed her Teriyaki Chicken, my patatas, some brocolli and my muffins.

She was in heaven. She's inside right now talking with Alan. They are having a ball.

So this CRISIS turned out not to be a crisis.

Take care and thanks to all of you for being so nice.
