Anyone Esle Got Kids Who've Needed Infusions?

Unfortunately for long term steroid users, bones can quickly become weak, and for a child with Duchenne muscular destrophy, this can easily lead to breakages. For a child with DMD, not walking, or using muscles, for a significant amount of time, such as occurs after breaking a leg, can lead to hastened inability to walk.

To avoid this from happenning, bone infusions can be given in an effort to help strengthen the bones. The problem is, the procedure can be quite daunting.

This is an account of my sons trip to the day unit for his first infusion. He was super brave.
