My son is 8yrs old. His pump site is on his bottom. (he's thin and can't handle using his stomach)
We're taking a 2 week vacation soon that will include swimming every day. We hit the parks at RD and then return to our condo for a midday swim. The second half of our vacation will be on the cruise so we'll be at the pools every day and at Castaway Cay. We have a very hard time keeping his site when it gets wet. Showers and baths make his site come off! So frustrating. How do we handle swimming every day?
We've tried IV "skin" over top of his site (we cut a hole large enough to go around the connecter piece and we've tried the sticky wipes that make his skin stickier....neither have worked very well. We only had samples of the sticky wipes, so maybe we didn't use enough?
How do you keep a site on through daily swim sessions?
