Roxie:
Alan usually sleeps during the infusion (because of the Benedryl). They give you this before just in case you have reaction to the IVIG.
While Alan sleeps, I usually make muffins and the nurse and I talk french and we talk for the 4 hours. She's very nice and very thorough. She takes his vitals all the time, his blood pressure, his pulse. She writes everything down in a log.
Now this might be different in an infusion center but that's how they do it when they do home infusions.
So when you think they might do home infusions, just let us know and we'll walk you through it. It's no big thing. Kind of boring.
So don't worry, it just might be your ticket out of all this crap.
Let's keep fingers and toes crossed.
