Help from a home care nurse

It was extremely helpful having the home care nurse come tonight. She dropped off a replacement suction pump and a bunch of equipment manuals. She further helped us by:
  • Inserting a new NGT for Raphael.
  • Going through resuscitation with us again on an infant dummy; better than the adolescent one that we practised on before.
  • Explaining to us how best to clean the CPAP equipment
  • Talking about how best to manage Dr appointments while being an inpatient
  • Talking about how to deal with being an outpatient and having appointments close together.
  • Offering to help consolidate appointments to be closer together rather than have them spread over an awkward amount of time
