VERY IMPORTANT! NEED RESPONSE IF YOU HAVE IT

[lokizmom]

hello everyone. i am in a bind. my dad is coming home on tuesday during the day, and we (as a family) will need to be able to put his antibiotics into the picc that he has inserted into his heart. if ANYONE here has ever heard of this process or done it, i NEED to know what information you can give me. we are SERIOUSLY nervous about this because the medication needs to be injected 3 times a day (7am, 3pm and 11pm). we do NOT want to kill our dad. we want to be sure that what we are going to need to do is not going to harm him if we do it wrong.

IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION PLEASE LET ME KNOW. if you have my cell phone number CALL ME. if you dont have my cell number, you can text me from my profile page direct to my cell phone and give me your number so i can call you back. i dont care where i have to call to be reassured that what we need to do isn't going to harm our dad.

thanks for listening.

And if they can't explain it well enough, then they damn well better send a home care nurse to take care of him for you.

see but that's the thing. they claimed that they were going to send a home nurse to the house to show us and to help out during the day. my mom has 4 more days of work before she can *actually* leave, and the only other person who's home is my sister. but if something happens, we can't be there to help out!

really its not about *not* being willing to do it...it's about the lack of help from the hospital. we've ASKED for help, and the only time they're willing to give it is when it's convenient for them. mom went to the lack of care facility last night and waited an hour and a half for them to show her how to do it...and then they DIDN"T EVEN HAVE the 'script to get it done!

and i'll end this rant with FUCKING KAISER
