Trisha does not like bandaids or stickers either although she will let you

put them on for a second. Now with creams she is ok. I was amazed when her

knee was injured a few months ago that she let me put an ace bandage on it but

it must have hurt enough and the ace bandage must have helped to the point

she tolerated it for the first day along with letting me apply ice to the knee

that first day but not the next.

She has caught her fingers in the car door a couple of times and I just

brought her in and put her fingers in a bowl of ice water and of course you

gotta

kiss the boo boo. :-)

She is a little better with stickers now than she was but she still won't

leave them on any length of time. Sometimes she says no so we don't but other

times she will hold her arm out, we put the sticker on and turn our backs and

bam off they come. lol

Even when she was 8 months old and had her eye surgery she kept pulling the

bandage off. She doesn't like anything on her head or body and she only

tolerates clothing. We are working on getting her to tolerate headphones and

while we've made a little progress we haven't made enough for her to leave them

on. She won't wear a bracelet or necklace or hat or ear muffs. I guess we

should be thankful she has started keeping her clothes on. :-)

we have the brand called new skin and I have used it and it burns plus it

smells horrible and Trisha won't even let me get close to her with it. :-(

If there is a brand that doesn't burn or smell horrible I'd be interested in

trying it.

There are a few brands of liquid bandaids on the market. You paint it on

like nailpolish but it is colorless. That at least keeps the dirt out.

Elie would rather DIE than have a bandage or dressing on.

LOL yeah Carol when you look at it that way who cares about bandaids! is

keeping her clothes on now finally. I fell the other day on one of the magazine

piles likes to spread out in a trail on the carpet and I sprained my wrist

so I wrapped it in an ace bandage. She went nuts trying to get that thing off MY

wrist. Last week I had broken out with some type of oldage acne and had a pimple

near my nose...she went bananas trying to scratch it off. I know she's trying to

kill me but I just pretend it isn't happening LOL. The poor kid is really having

trouble now though as she is trying to pull her boobs off her body. Guess I

should be glad she's not a 17 yo teenager asking for breast implants. Oh boy.

I don;t know - but the amount is so small, I can't imagine it hurting

anymore than eating nailpolish off nails!! (I am proof THAT won't kill you.

I will check out the stores near me for odor and burn next time I am allowed

in town!!!!

Gail :-)

LOL Yep, Maddie too. Every time we get blood drawn, I laugh when the

nurse INSISTS on putting on the band-aid. I always tell them, " Have at

it, but it won't last more than 1 second!!!! " ....LOL

Amazingly, Maddie NEVER gets boo boos. She might get a small scratch or

something, but she's really very cautious (Yes, CAUTIOUSLY running in the

street, or teetering on roof tops). Now back in the day when she

head-banged

and somersaulted, we have black and blue everything, but no open cuts.
