Guest guest Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Caelan had his first sub Q Hizentra this morning. Overall it went well. They used ethyl chloride spray to freeze the sites first. We used three sites (infused 37ml) and they were the love handle and then going back toward his belly button. The worst part was getting the tegaderm off at the end which made him cry because it really pulled and hurt. Next time we are going to use skin prep and we won't use the tegaderm. The love handle spot is really puffed up and white looking. The center site looks almost like nothing and the one near his belly button is really puffed up as well. He freaked and thought he was having an allergic reaction, but once we explained that the liquid has to be absorbed he calmed down. We are putting heat packs on his belly to help with the absorption. He says it itches a lot. So, here's hoping no reactions after the fact and we can have a weekend without an ER visit!
