Did LVAD training today. writing down that Peter can not be left alone ever with this machine, made it hit home really hard. 3 of us are now trained to sit with him. when i was shown how tio use the hand pump incase the machine ever broke down, omg, i could've cried. i dont want to have the responsibility of keeping his pump going if it ever did stop. i have to pump it 60-80 times a minute. i wont be able to do it. am scared and down.
