Okay, so it’s a sad day when one gets this excited over a little medical wipe.  Lol!  Shealyn had skin reactions to 4 (count ‘em- 1, 2, 3, 4) previous adhesive removers.  We change her pump infusion site every two days and there is always a circle an inch wide of residual adhesive left on her hip/bottom.  I’ve tried other home remedies such as baby oil suggested by other parents of T1 children.

The only thing we’ve found to work was something called TacAway that they had sent us home with 3 samples when she first started her pump in April.  Since then, I had a heck of a time finding it in stock anywhere and had tried other types.  Welcome EdgePark Supply!!  The lady laughed when I celebrated the fact that they 1) had it in stock and 2) would ship to an individual.  I will be simply wiping away about 20 circles on our girl’s bottom as soon as she finishes breakfast.  Ahh .. the ‘little’ things in life.  Lol
