Or how do you even get him to come out from under the couch? (most kids go

under the bed, but Jasper can fit under the couch...sigh).

Anyway, Dr. H. got us started on gh, but when the RN came to do the injection

training he literally hid for an hour and then got hysterical when we came near

him. I tried talking through all the steps. I stopped short of telling him it

doesn't

hurt at all, because I think it must hurt at least a little bit. He even got

hysterical

at the feeling of the alcohol, so we've spent days just practicing that part so

he

gets used to the cold sensation. But still, he's not exactly volunteering. I

tried a

offering a toy bribe (obviously we can't keep that up for 13 years...). But now

he's simply tormented by desire for the toy AND fear.

So many other painful things we've had to do (blood draws, silver nitrate on

the g-tube etc.) were not as scary and they were only temporary. We just held

him down until it was over and then let him go. Do you have to do that at first,

hold him against his will? He is a real fighter. Which has worked well for him

in the past, but I really don't know what to do.

PLEASE, any guidance would be SO appreciated.
