I must not have tapped and snapped well today.  I had so many "red 10" alarms that I had to call Nxstage.  Peter was good though.  He seemed a little nervous at first when I called, but after he calmed down, he was good.  The alarms were letting me know that there was air in the venous lines, and I could see it too.  when I pulled the blood through the syringe.  Actually it alarmed multiple times before I even hooked up.  I told myself to get the alarms resolved, and I htought I had, but I was wrong.  ANywhoo, I learned a lot from the experience.  One thing I learned was that I have to pull up out of the filter port.  I was pulling straight out and not up and the air wasn't coming to the top.  (Iknow what I am trying to say). 
Once I got on, I wanted to go to sleep, no dice.  Arterial alarm every time I laid down.  So, in 6 mins I am going to go to sleep.
