I bet the nurse is afraid you will be mad at her. If everything was taken care of another message should of be left on your message taker stating everything was ok.

[Why is it they always call the mother first?]He said everyone was so impressed at how well she handled the whole thing and things seem to be ok for now.I'm sure the nurse is mad at me big time. Thanks for listening. I gotta go to camp and get yelled at by the nurse in a little while. Take Care, Doreen >> Hi Doreen: best thing to do, is get camp nurse in to meet the CDE and learn about troubleshooting the pump. Either that, or call Animas, and ask them to send one of the manuals that comes with the pump so Nurse can learn and have <!--more--> a resource too. Yelling accomplishes nothing other than her venting fear and frustration....this coming from another Nurse....Joan:) << Well my child being just so smart, with all of these

For leaving? Had they expected you to stay? For an unknown alarm? That's not your fault. Hey, I think your dtr. sounds very capable of handling a situation. Good for her - level headed and knowing to make a toll-free call. I've nown some who have had that happen and write to a list for help at 3:00 a.m. hoping someone is awake to advise them. Let us know how the *encounter* goes. ;) Doreen,
