I really appreciate your comments though. As we were waiting for a shot I was talking to her about it a little. But I was waffling between to tell her a lot or a little. Would she get more upset or less with the information. Next time I will tell her more and try to do some of the stuff you outlined.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/>KathrynKathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388107764837538301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31461418.post-53880118920078950852007-03-24T08:25:00.000-04:002007-03-24T08:25:00.000-04:00Glad to hearthe little lady is on the mend.

But have you and Ellie ever received Child Life Therapy services? Boston has some great kid hospital resources, so I would hope they have a good program there. But the quality varies widely. Sometimes they are nothing more than "play ladies" other times they can do amazing things to help your child prepare and cope with medical stuff. Some of them are good, but don't think they can do anything for kids with disabilities...which are half their census anyway. So, grrr.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, there is no reason for a kid to get a shot and be surprised like that. That just makes it worse. A shot usually isn't too terrible in and of itself, it is the shock and the holding down and the not understanding why someone just did that to you. Child Life Therapists do a lot of prepping, role playing, talking about the amount of time it will hurt, and that it will get better quickly, etc. Many kids with good preparation do not even need to be held down at all. I think a lot can be done with disabled kids as well, although I know CP is a toughie as far as holding still.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox, but I thought I would suggest it. Check with your children's hospital. They may be able to help you make these hospital trips a bit more bearable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31461418.post-900828625203113692007-03-23T22:58:00.000-04:002007-03-23T22:58:00.000-04:00Hope she is feeling better, she is a gorgeous litt...Hope she is feeling better, she is a gorgeous little girl!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sammie<BR/>Mommy to a former 24 weeker!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31461418.post-52444519728618103122007-03-23T20:34:00.000-04:002007-03-23T20:34:00.000-04:00Glad me lil princess is doing better. give her a b...Glad me lil princess is doing better. give her a big hug & kiss from me and thank her for my weight loss <BR/><BR/>Aunty Sue<BR/>xxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31461418.post-53158368397449965412007-03-23T19:08:00.000-04:002007-03-23T19:08:00.000-04:00I hope that Ellie is feeling better now.
