Hey nocturnal people!

As hubby and I get more and more familiar with home home, and the NxStage, I'm beginning to plan for nocturnal. Our unit has ordered a heparin pump, as well as an enuresis pad.

I'm trying to determine how traveling with nocturnal will be. What's YOUR script? How many Liters to you use of dialysate?

Thanks!

Jen

I do PD and use 12 liters a night on the cycler. But I don't think that's going to help answer your question.

justjen, I wish I could help. I am on nocturnal, but a use a BabyK and it's a completely different ballgame.

I do wish you luck, though!  :flower;

Good health is just the slowest possible rate at which you can die.
