[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 279412, member: 13451"] Jopar 8 weeks sounds like a long time and a horrible experience. Let's hope that this is a one-off for Jess and it won't happen again anytime soon. I'm not sure if this might have had any impact on Jess developing this infection but when I did the set change which resulted in this infection I was not very well myself. I had been in hospital with a very bad chest infection bordering on pneumonia. Perhaps me breathing whilst doing the set change somehow contaminated the area and caused the infection? I was very careful to wash my hands thoroughly and not cough anywhere near the set tubing or cannula or whilst I was inserting the cannula. Anyway, I've been into school to give her the next dose of antibiotics and the infection is looking better already so it looks like it will clear up nicely. The antibiotics are a tricky one because they're a four times a day one and have to be taken on an empty stomach, no eating 2 hours before or an hour afterwards. For a child who eats and snacks regularly it's going to be hard work but we will manage :) [/QUOTE]
