Even after practicing with an orange, even after having to do it several times with Jonathan, I still have a terribly hard time with the concept of poking a sharp thing into my baby's leg <shudder> The first time I tried to give one to Jonathan, it was the third try before I could bring myself to use enough force to break the skin. It was like forcing yourself to swallow a large pill or put your finger on the cornea of your eye to remove your contact lense only much, much worse. All that aside, every parent of a CAH child needs to learn to do it a soon as possible.
