Hi Dakota. Thanks for your warm wishes.

I didn't call the visiting nurse person. I simply forgot. I was watching American Idol and all those lovely singers, Bette Midler, and Smoky Robinson. I flew back in time to when I would watch the Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday nights. This American Idol was really good. But I miss Fantasia.

Anyway, Alan is still normal as apple pie and just went to sleep.

Hopefully it will be the same for tomorrow.

How do I know when he is out of the woods and I can tell myself "There was no contamination"????

Thanks,
Melody

Mel,
I hope Alan will be ok. I read quickly. If this type of care keeps up and trust me, I feel it will. Tell your neuro about this event. Do yourself a big favor for yourself and Alan, tell your neuro about these events. It is always the same old story with these home care agencies. I live in N.Y. and have been through it. Demand to have it infused at the hospital. I agree with cyclelops and as a nurse also am appalled at what these ding bats will do. It is not worth anyone's health to go through this. PS I.V.I.g. is not to be mixed with n/s and a reaction can occur at any time. I wrote about this prior to you because I know what they pull. If it is ordered for four hours case closed . They are not the doctor and reactions increase to the increasing rate. Period. I have saved my infusion bag when I had one of these dingbats leave a good amount in the bag, because she had another case. The look on my docs face was priceless and I took it right back home with me. When I became sick from one of the infusions and had to go to the e.r., the first thing they asked was, how fast was it run? It is the same old story with them .I'm just looking out for you guys and giving you the heads up. I talked till I was blue in the face with my request and still it would go to their way. True they get paid by how many cases they can run to. Don't subject Alan to this kind of care. Keep talking his temp and let the neuro know.
