Boiling Nebs

Wish I'd thought about that before purchasing the deep fryer, as per Amy. Oh well, I've got a deep fryer I pack in my suitcase when we travel. Works just as well. And it came with a handy scooper, so I can fish DS's neb cups out when they're done. I always worry about setting off smoke alarms at the hotel though, but I do boil them in the bathroom, so figure that room is designed for extra steam.

when i am on vacation i often just hold them under really hot hot water and wash them like that for the week or so. you are technically supposed to be able to just wash them with warm water and soap, so even though i boil them all the time at home, i feel like this is fine when i am away as long as i let them completely air dry.

the hot plate is a great idea though, i am going to look into that.

I just rinse them under hot soapy water or hotter water if the hotel room has a coffee pot!
when Jess was inpatient they didn't even do that after each treatment so I figured ANYTHING was better, right?
why is it okay to just stuff them into a bag after each treatment when she's inpatient anyway?
