Hi,

When Aimee was 23 months she had her first port, I was nervous and afraid at

first, after it was done I just thought WOW how great is this and why hadn't

we done this sooner? We went through a gambit of picc lines, intramuscular

injections into her thighs (the worse thing I have ever done in my life to her).

I

have managed all of Aimee's IV care since she was 18 months and I tell you

the port has been the best thing ever, she just recently had her 3rd port in

(she is now 13). I have to thank my sister in law Judy for telling me about the

ports, because it really was the best thing ever for Aimee. Thanks Judy!

Good Luck with you daughter.

My grand daughter had a port for about 4 weeks, when she was just 3

to 4 months old. I think that they put the port in Abby in the

radiology area, so that they can see what they are doing.

My two year old Madison also has had those problems... we got a port about

three weeks ago she is two and 5 months I love it so far they only get poked

once a wk and they sure do love the stickers they put on it... Maddie was

getting poked 15-20 times for an iv and we moved to cat scans to put pic lines

in

but just to knock her out they had to use so much medication and her arms were

all tore up b.c they couldnt get it im talking 25-50 trys getting one pic line

i readily gave Maddie the opportunity avoid all that surgery and

pain...personally I know they do not have that many mainlines but i couldnt deal

with all

the poking and screaming... <3 candace <3
