One of the best things about home testing is we don't have to take Easton to hospital or his G.P. to have his tests. When a child goes through so much medical intervention they can become very scared in these places. Easton used to start getting upset as soon as we entered the hospital car park. Since having the home testing machine Easton is very laid back at having his INR tested. Now at 14, we hope he will soon be testing his own INR as this will be important for the years to come, whether he moves on to university or fitting his INR test around his career.
Caroline, Mother of Easton (14)
