Yvette, mom to Gracie, shares her personal infusion journey, from being a needle-phobic to learning how to administer infusions for her daughter Gracie when the Covid-19 pandemic struck.
You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have.
With the guidance and support of their nurse Jackie, Yvette grew in confidence. Starting by putting a needle into an apple, writing checklists and learning to overcome her fears, she succeeded. Now the family has more flexibility, is more in control and Gracie feels so much happier.
I'm incredibly proud of you mum because you were so scared before. I like the fact that the nurse doesn't have to come to our house every week, it feels more safe because I feel more comfortable with you.
