Infusion 62 -27-13. Infusion 63, 10-11-13, Infusion 64, 10-23-13

They all went pretty good. Dad was here to hold Avery for the the last one so that was nice. Today's infusion 10-23 Chelsea brought magic cream...EMLA Cream (lidocaine 2.5% and prilocaine 2.5%) is an emulsion in which the oil phase is a eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine in a ratio of 1:1 by weight. This eutectic mixture has a melting point below room temperature and therefore both local anesthetics exist as a liquid oil rather than as crystals. It is packaged in 5 gram and 30 gram tubes. I have heard of people using it and people have told me to use it and we just never did. I hate that I waited so long. She moved a little when the needle hit the vein but other than that is was painless for her!
