Hi Deann,
Yiks! ....Even if there were electricity available I would not want to put
a pump on the nipple you describe.
Hopefully you can teach this new mom effective manual/hand expression in a
way that does not cause further nipple trauma. And, consider saline soaks.
Hope that nipple is not as detached as it looked in the phone pic you
received.
