Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi Margaret Louis is also tall (over 4 ft) and so strong, so I knew I couldn't pin him down in any way (not me on my own), so to begin with I used to get his favouite book of mazes out, tell him to pull down his pyjamas bottoms and get him to trace with his finger the way through the maze. This generally occupied him enough and if you can keep up a running commentary on what he is doing, I found that kept his mind off what you are doing behind him. Nowadays, Louis tells me which day is MB12 day and when I tell him its time, he just pulls down his bottoms. We did have one accident where he reached behind and knocked my hand, when I was just putting it in and this then grazed his skin and obviously hurt more than normal. He has never done it since. All the best Kay. MB12 -thanks! Thanks for your prompt replies and advice, Kay and Vicky! My husband is very, very nervous about this (although he's an insulin-dependent diabetic so should be used to needles, plus he's abroad half the time so I'll the be the one doing it!) but has agreed we shall give it a go. Watch this space! Any hints on how to inject when the child is awake, ie should they be sitting, lying or whatever, please let me know - Will is only 6 but tall and very strong so I coul do without any battles! Feel free to email me direct. TIA, Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
