We have a new nurse too. Please say a little prayer these will stop hurting Chelsi. She's uncomfortable around the site of the injections for the first day and a half.
I am VERY grateful our new insurance for 2007 has quickly agreed to cover these, in full, as well. These are VERY expensive injections...I believe around $1,000 and we're not responsible for one penny.
For anyone who doesn't know what Synagis is (I didn't know before Chelsi); Synagis is an injection that can be given to prevent RSV in premature and other babies that are more at risk for contracting this terrible virus. This virus kills and it's absolutely necessary for a baby born as prematurely as Chelsi was (10 weeks) to have this for the first two years. She missed the first season as she was in Korea the entire time they do it (November through April), so we've been doing it since this past November. Anything to keep my baby from being hospitalized with a life-threatening illness.
