Home IVs

[Marjolein]

I have always had one ab that would be continuous. I would have Cefta(Fortum) for about 22.5 hours a day and in the time that the Cefta didn't go through I had Tobra twice a day for about 45 minutes..

I always had the Cadd Plus, later Cadd legacy. Now there is the <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.smiths-medical.com/catalog/ambulatory-pumps-sets/cadd-ambulatory-infusion-pumps/cadd-legacy-plus-pump.html">CaddLegacyPlus</a> and I think I had that one when I had my last home IV's, just before my tx.

It's really small and has a cassette attached to it that contains the medicine. My pharmacy here in my vilage would fill the cassettes, they were 100 ml each for a full day. I would change it in the morning when I did Tobra and stop the pump for a bit at night when the Tobra had to go through.

The Tobra was per IV ball (Easypump).

I have never had a midline, or a PICC even... I had venflons (they lasted long with me) and when they couldn't find a vein anymore I got my first port.

I dont know what bacteria it is. I am 26 and just diagnosed, and my PFTs dropped 20%. That is all I know. I have been doing this for 4 years with my daughter, but feel totally lost doing it on myself.

I would go insane to be hooked up ALL day. I need to never complain again about my home IV's. (I get 5 a day)

So you AND your daughter have CF, is that right?

Good luck with that long IV, does it have any side effects? Get well soon!

Once the midline is placed you won't have any pain at the site. Every once in awhile my PICCs will hurt for a day or two, but motrin takes care of that ache and pain.

Do you know what cocktail your doctors are prescribing for you? I'd be interested to know what you'll be on. And get a copy of those sputum results. It's nice to know what is brewing and that way you'll know when new things pop up down the road.
