Then we had a new nurse that came out and did the shots very cautiously (nervously) and Reagan turned black and blue!!! It was horrible!! I know you're probably having to use more than we used for Reagan...but my advice for your husband would be to just commit to it (be confident) and do it quickly. Are you using the numbing gel?? We always put it on Reagan about 1hr before the shot (and covered her leg with plastic wrap to keep it in place). I'm not sure how much it really helped Reagan...but for some kids, they can't even feel the shot at all. Worth a try if you're not already doing it!! She's in my prayers!!Reagan Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276933188608521229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29367137.post-79781453882161494182008-06-19T07:46:00.000-05:002008-06-19T07:46:00.000-05:00Elaine,Boy do I remember the ACTH days! Sophie so...Elaine,<BR/><BR/>Boy do I remember the ACTH days! Sophie sounds so much like Ava's story in quite a few ways. I actually begged my neuro for another round of ACTH....but he didn't budge. <BR/><BR/>I really hope this helps Sohpie become seizure free again. <BR/><BR/>Rebecca<BR/><BR/>ava-labonte@blogspot.comlabonte4https://www.blogger.com/profile/09735721809260643457noreply@blogger.com
