No, none of the equipment is portable, not that I really go anywhere.  I did 
get a light weight IV pole from my sister in law which makes it easier to 
move him around the house.  I have a wedding next week, my mom's, this is the 
first real outing we are having, Ithink that everything will be okay.  The 
battery on the kangaroo pump should last a while, Right?  As for the other 
stuff, I don't think I really need to carry it around with me, at least not 
yet.

I also have to deal with two extra medications now, he was getting zantac and 
gaviscon and now they have added reglan and lasix sp?.  Trying to remember 
all that is kind of difficult but I have it posted on the board by the phone 
in really bid letters.  The older kids are a really big help with Brendan and 
all the new stuff.  Michael is the biggest help of all and he takes such good 
care of Brendan.
