RE: [IPp] time on site

Hi Joel & Dianne,
Our daughter, Ashley, is also 4, and she has only been pumping for about 2
months.  She also changes sites every 3 days.  Even with using Neosporin on
the old sites, I think it is possible to see every mark.  I have called our
D team concerning this, but they seemed to think it was normal.  We go back
in 1 1/2 weeks for a check up, and they will look at it then.  I was worried
that it was the type of infusion sets we were using or something.  I will
let you know what they tell me.


Angela, mom to Ashley,4 (dx 1/01) and Kristina, 16 mo.

Subject: [IPp] time on site

Our son, Liam, has been using a pump for 4 months. He just turned 4 years
old.
We have been leaving the sites on for 3 days without any problem.  We would
like to know how long kids his age are using a site.  Also, how long is it
taking for the mark left by the infusion to go away. On Liam I think you can
see vaguely see infusion sites from at least 2 months ago.
