I wish my parents knew that when they checked me in the middle of the night.<br />But I actually remember in the middle of a soccer practice I was low so I checked, and my friends' grandmother told me that they used to check using their earlobes. Is it just me, or does that sound downright painful? But I never knew I could check toes! :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-40884478517604499932010-02-12T12:22:38.632-08:002010-02-12T12:22:38.632-08:00Liam does sleep on his hands.

She sleeps in socks anyway...<br />Interestingly, at dx in the peds office they checked her toes. Once. Then came back to say that they weren't sure about the machine or something... And checked again. Toe again. <br />Now I know the machine wasn't broken - they just had never seen it say HI before.Hallie Addingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11331775099035220917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-48269886025031924382010-02-09T13:01:56.941-08:002010-02-09T13:01:56.941-08:00I was told I could test on my toes too . my dr see...I was told I could test on my toes too . my dr seems to think that the fore arm is a little iffy .phoneladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941892184117571313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-69059382295907014422010-02-09T11:56:49.129-08:002010-02-09T11:56:49.129-08:00We were told toes are fine too.

We were told toes are fine but because of the nature of where feet live (on the ground and in shoes) they were more prone to getting infected.<br /><br />My dad also used his ear lobe once. :) Then he looked like we pierced his ear for a few days before it healed. Zane thought it was pretty funny. :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12867189957251214574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-42627456709219566582010-02-09T09:20:15.616-08:002010-02-09T09:20:15.616-08:00We where told only check on fingers, we really nev...We where told only check on fingers, we really never asked why, we just nodded out heads, yes sir, and really never thought about trying her toes??<br /><br />and Cara does sleep on her hand too.

We talked to my doctor about it and he said not to do it. Being a diabetic infections are more harmful. So since then, never on my toes. What I find that works is just constant rotation of fingers and different spots. Also a lot of lotion helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-91136798147427950632010-02-09T08:44:15.087-08:002010-02-09T08:44:15.087-08:00So funny you bring this up!

My boys NEVER let us test their toes...and at night they would bolt awake if we tried. <br /><br />But last week we were at my parents and L was laying on his hands watching tv. He wouldn't give My SIL his hands, so she said, "Fine, I'll test your toes!" And he said. "Good! Test my toes!" And she did, and he said, "That didn't hurt!" At least one of my guys is open to it. :)<br /><br />Doc always said toes or fingers...it didn't matter.<br />(And all my boys sleep on their hands...you are so right!)Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-51385472122438402642010-02-09T07:49:04.003-08:002010-02-09T07:49:04.003-08:00We were never told not to check Tristan's toes...We were never told not to check Tristan's toes.
