S.A.S.H.

Saline - Administration of Medication - Saline - Heparin. That's what SASH stands for. Sounds simple right?  A few steps are left out.


Sterilize the cap, attach saline syringe to port tube, unclamp port tube, push saline from syringe into port tube, clamp port tube, remove saline syringe, sterilize infusion cap, attach to port tube, unclamp port tube, unclamp antibiotic infusion tube, wait 15 minutes, clamp infusion tube, clamp port tube, detach infusion tube, sterilize cap,  attach saline syringe to port tube, unclamp port tube, push saline from syringe into port tube, clamp port tube, remove saline syringe, sterilize the cap, attach Heparin syringe to port tube, push Heparin from syringe into port tube, clamp port tube, remove Heparin syringe, dispose of all the plastic wrappers, syringes and antibiotic pump.  Not exactly sure what that abbreviation is but I'm sure it isn't S.A.S.H.

Only 10 more days of it!

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers.  We felt the love!!
