Tony, Caitlin's infusions are taking about 3 to 3.5 hours. They slowly increase the infusion rate three times during the session. They tell me it is a conservative approach.
She hasn't been drinking enough water and today the nurse insisted that she have 8 glasses during the day. She doesn't like drinking all that water, but I hope she'll feel better this afternoon.
