When we got there and parked, I opened the van door and there was blood all over her. I realized that the line had broken and luckily I had a pair of those blue clampy scissors. I clamped it and drove straight to the ER. They fixed it, with some glue or something, and sent us home. Two nights later we were sitting on the couch and I looked down and it had happened again. We weren't even moving at the time, we were just sitting on the couch! It had come apart again. This time the line was replaced.<br /><br />I guess I'm just telling you so you know that it does happen, and it's not your fault! Sometimes they just break. The coil that the poster is talking about should definitely help. It's an extension that goes on the Broviac lumen and is coiled up like a phone cord. It gives the line some stretchability and extra length. I would talk to your DME company about it!!ANewKindOfPerfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978293330074662766noreply@blogger.com
