Believe me Alan is not a poor guy. She is not using the pump at all.

She is trying to get the instruction manual. We both realized that we should have called the infusion company.

She has never used this pump. She uses a gauge thing. Alan has a nice slow infusion. We sit there and talk for 4 hours, and sometimes he takes a nap from the Benadryl..She saw how many mililiters (or whatever), he was prescribed, and she calculated how much the rate should be for 30 minutes, and she did the drip (nice and slow), she always does this.

He's doing extremely well during these infusions. Don't worry about him. Worry about me. I'm the one getting headaches and wheeling wheelchairs and no body gives a darn about me. lol

I sit and listen as the nurse talks about diabetes, and ivig and I listen and learn. She checkes his pressure every 15 minutes. It's always perfect. She even checked mine.

I believe they should have included a manual with the pump. She said "there are so many different types of pumps".

She is used to the hospital pumps, (many of her patients use the bigger pumps). She's been a nurse for 45 years and she is extremely diligent. Alan is extremely comfortable around her and so am I.

So she's not touching the pump until she knows what she is doing.

She asked me "if they send you instructions can you please email it to me so I can begin to practice" I said no problem.

And if I can get a customer number and access the manual online, that's when she said "oh, that's terrific, if you can get me to that site, I can learn all about the pump, before I get here next time"

He gets a nice slow drip of 4 hours with this nurse. I wouldn't trade her for anyone else.
