As many of you know, for years now Arama has not been growing very well along with many other health challenges.
He has finally qualified for funded growth Hormone treatment.
This means daily injections!
He started these on Thursday the 8th of this Month and he is
doing so well, he makes no fuss at all we are so proud of him
as initially he was determined he was not going to do them as
he is so scared of injections but with lots of faith and prayers
we all knew that we needed to give this a try, even he knew this too!
He loads his cartridge which lasts 12days and cost the govt $400 I must add (thanks to everyone for paying their taxes). Then each night he loads his injection pen with the needle and sets the dial at 1.0ml of the drug GENOTROPIN.
He is getting very confident at this and so brave too!
Below is the sharpies box which he puts used needles into,
his injection pen in its case and a little cardboard box
with needles in it.
His Sister wanted to pose for this photo with the Sharpies box LOL!
This is his pen below he was able to choose the outer casing,
he picked the racing car one. If he gets sick of it though, he
can put the purple cover back on.
Below is him injecting himself. He can inject into the stomach, upper leg or bottom. So far he has always done his puku!
Funny you know we always thought of all the cons of this process,
but when you feel in your heart that you need to do something, we are firm believers of the fact that you need to follow your promptings!
So that is what we have done and so far the process has been very
easy and simple. Arama went to school last Monday and showed
his class what he does and talked to them all about it all. His teacher said ......
He was in his ELEMENT explaining it to the class, he spoke for half an hour and the kids were really interested in what he had to say - it was fabulous! He did really, really well! It is nice for the class to know a little about the lives of some students in their class. It amazes me how much some kids have to go through in life. Puts things into perspective for me too!
Great suggestion getting him to do that!
BLESSINGS ALL ROUND AND I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THIS OPTION
WILL HELP MY SPECIAL SON GROW!
