 :welcomesign; Rachel. I too am the caregiver. My hubby was on home hemo 2003 until 9/07 when he received his transplant. This is the best place for information and support and you'll never be alone. You should have your hubby join, we'd love to talk to him. Have you checked the older threads, great information to be had there. Look forward to hearing more from you.  :cuddle;
