Congratulations to New Mighty Sticker Austin C!

By Karen Clark, RN, Outreach Nurse

Horizons in Hemophilia, April 2011

Austin C. is the newest member of the Mighty Sticker Club!  Austin successfully completed all the steps in self infusion and demonstrated to his HoG outreach nurse that he could successfully infuse his weekly factor.  Austin was awarded a certificate and a watch and had his picture taken for the HoG newsletter.

Austin has participated in Camp Wannaklot for four years and began learning to infuse himself while observing other boys at camp.  His outreach nurse worked with him at camp and made home visits to continue to watch his progress. Austin loves to stay active and enjoys swimming, basketball, riding his bike and video games.  His best subject in school is math.

Congratulations Austin!  Everyone at HoG is proud of you!
