BTW...a bone age is a simple x-ray of the writst. Not a big deal at all!

And I asked our endo to give me a prescription for it. EMLA cream. It has
lidocaine in it. She asked me if I thought it would help...andI said..I
hope so!! It really has reduced the stress of the situation. It was 30
dollars for the tube and we are still using it 2 years later...guess I
better check the expiration date!

>Hi everyone
> Courtney is doing better with her RSV. That cough is awful sounding.
> Where can you get the "emia" numbing cream? I heard that there was a
cream out there, but I never knew the name etc...
> Erin's vein's like to hide and roll also. It makes it difficult on both
her and the lab tech. In fact, every time we get the blood drawn, we always
get the same lab worker. Poor worker. She always has a hard time. Now
she is down to giving it one try before going to get another co-worker to
try and draw the blood.
> Ok, about this bone age thing. We have not had the experince yet. We
were told that when Erin is 5 she will have it done (2 1/2 more yrs) So why
worry now? Because it is only recently that I have heard people tell me
that how well I do her meds plays out her bone age. Yes, this has distrubed
me. So if her bone age is advanced, does that mean it's my fault because I
didn't do her meds good enough?
> Erin's first dr told us to do meds right on the nose, 8 am, 4 pm, and 11
pm. But her new one said to do it in the morning, afternoon and night. How
strict are you guys when it comes to med time?
> I don't know about you guys, but I still have days when I have a hard time
dealing with the reality that my daughter has CAH - not that I don't love
her. I guess I still feel a little guilty. Today is just one of those
days. Sorry!!
> Ok I'm not going to leave on a damp note. Here is something to think
about
>1- pound for pound, hamburgers cost more than new cars
>2 - five jello flavors that flopped - celery, coffee, cola, apple, choc.
(yuck)
>3- The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one mile in every 5 must
be straight. These straight sections are usalbe as airstrips in times of
war or other emergencies.
