Poor Peter :o( It's horrible when they can't get access and you end up black and blue. On a lighter note, he looks like he has marshmallows stuck to his hands and I LOVE the bracelet! Was that a little person who made it for Daddy I wonder? ;o) xxxx
Gah, poor Peter! Needles are just the WORST things ever! My brother had the same problem too. His veins kept on collapsing and he was poked and prodded endlessly. His hands were always a lovely purple colour! But I agree with Emmie; thhe cotton balls *do* look like marshmallows...yummy! ^_^ Peter's such a trooper! And your little Nicole's a darling for decorating her Daddy's wrist with such a beautiful bracelet!
we were looking into finger prick testing at home for him, but the machine costs over £200 and the strips are about expensive as well. plus his hands are always cold so even that doesnt work sometime.
I am a 30-something mum of 5, wife to a heart transplant recipitent, who is the love of my life. I love my large family very much. we may have ups and downs but we will bounce back stronger than ever every time.
