There's a name for it, but I can't remember what it is. Basically the insulin likes fat and will store itself in there, making the site appear swollen (That's my non-technical explanation). We've stopped using her arms so much and it's slowly but surely going away.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5209104638722396482.post-78945083785066181962010-02-04T21:05:35.689-08:002010-02-04T21:05:35.689-08:00Alivia will ONLY let us do her arms!

Hope one day (very soon) she offers up another body part! <br />It's so great that Mattie likes to take care of herself!AjsMommy82https://www.blogger.com/profile/05254080960339217377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5209104638722396482.post-33407702857711670042010-02-03T20:32:42.475-08:002010-02-03T20:32:42.475-08:00What a brave girl to do it on her own.

We ourselves get suck on her tush. Her arms and legs she complains and you have to move all her clothes out of the way. With the bum we just turn her over and there it is....nice and easy and no yelling. Then we notice the bumps and bruises and start to rotate again. <br /><br />She is not the only one, and way to handle the situation mom!! you ROCK!!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07233907890324278905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5209104638722396482.post-28206797754350686782010-02-03T09:30:58.302-08:002010-02-03T09:30:58.302-08:00Great way to handle the situation!
