Tonight was Audra's first home infusion of SCIg. A home care nurse arrived at 6:30pm. First we had to complete some paperwork...consents, insurance forms and such. Then the nurse examined Audra....the obligatory temperature, blood pressure, weight and height check.
When it was time to prepare the medication I pulled out all the supplies that had been delivered earlier in the week....
medication
syringes
tubing
needles
dressings
pump
alcohol preps
sharps container
I laid out everything we would need for tonight's infusion and the nurse looked at me as if to say "go ahead".
Alrighty...I can do this...I am a nurse...
The preparation of the medication is actually quite easy. Except that it is quite thick, which makes it challenging to pull up into the syringe and remove air bubbles from. And to think that something so viscous needs to be injected into Audra to keep her healthy?!
Then it was time to insert the needle. Our delivery of supplies only included single needles, not double needles like they used at the hospital last week. So we would have to inject the entire 10ml of thick antibody goodness into one area of my skinny girl.
Again...I got the "go ahead" look from the home care nurse. Silly me, I thought we were going to ease our way into doing the infusions by ourselves.
once Audra was more comfortable with the process...
once her mama was more comfortable with the process!
Sure, I know HOW to insert a needle...but inserting a needle on my own little girlie is so.very.different!
To my surprise Audra did much better than I anticipated. She still fought and we had to hold her down, but the minute the needle was in she was FINE. She wanted to keep the site covered with her blanket and wasn't to happy when I checked on it every so often. The infusion took about 1.5 hours and then the fun of getting the needle out started. The home care nurse had left before the infusion was done, she had deemed us competent enough to manage on our own! Lucky us.
I really think Audra was more bothered by pulling the dressing off her skin than the actual needle removal. Once the needle was out and safely stowed in the sharps container (these needles don't have a safety lock to prevent accidental pokes) we tucked her in for the night and she fell asleep fast and hard.
