a syringe. She lurks here on the list so I hope she'll put

Casey,

Thanks for the info.

I'll be sure to inquire about this at our formal training session if not

sooner.

Tim has been poked and prodded so much and really hates anything medical

(although he used to love playing with his kiddie doctor kit and will put

syringes up to a dolls arm or it's stomach) and I want this daily procedure to

be as uneventful as possible.

What exactly....or how does this Injecta-pin work vs using a needle?

Donna,

Hi i am a lurker on Casey's list had to jump in on this one. Casey is

talking about an inject ease it is a little pen like thingy<G> you drop

the filled syringe into it you place it on the injection site and press

a button on the side and it puts the needle through the skin very fast

then you push in the medicine .Now there are several types of these it

all depends on what drug company supplies your GH. most children stop

crying after you start using this it is free ask your endo if you can't

find it you can call the MAGIC foundation they are the support for

children with growth disorders. they have a news letter and all sorts of

information on growth disorders.

they're great!

Also there are a few different things so your child can feel more in

control we always let our daughter pick her injection site and clean it

with the alcohol pad , the only time we didn't listen to her is when she

picked her dad's arm!! Well i hope this helps let me know.

take care,cindy

,

Thanks for the info. This sounds like something I should definitely look into.

I was quickness and ease. We're using the Children's Hospital's homecare

program to get our meds so I would think they definietely should have the pens

available.

I've been to the Magic Foundation's website. It is terrific !! Helped us a

great deal when we were just getting into this. Perhaps the site deserves a

second look :-)

Oh, and knowing Tim - he'd choose to put the med back in the fridge if we

asked him to pick a site <G>

Thanks for your help.
