Thank you Ryan and Scott great feedback. Really appreciate it. Will definitely look at that helmet, Ryan. My daughter has a helmet, we all do, but we knew she would need an upgrade, so that's great.

:) thank you pellicle

Thank you. Yes I agree, we always do test to make sure and we have found that it varies. Black in some areas can be green in others... And yes my concern is what could happen if there is an accident and the fact is skiing is prone to falls. Most of the times fine but there are also many...

Thank you. She is a once per year skier or less but has been doing it since she was about 4 or 5 yo. Greens would be the easiest other than bunny slopes but she would probably be doing blues and some blacks if she wasn't on blood thinners. However as difficulty increases so do the chances of a...

My daughter received the on-x valve in the aortic position Sep 2015. Doing great, although she does have PVCs at about 3%. My question today is regarding skiing. Should we even allow her on greens or just skip it altogether, even though she has a low INR requirement due to the kind of valve she...

pellicle, this is great! Thank you. I haven't had as much trouble with the finger prick but will definitely try your method. For some reason we haven't been doing the side of the finger although now that you mentioned it, I think that is what the instructions said.

Thank you all so much for your feedback. DachsieMom, even with the numbing cream which we used every time it was pretty bad. Somehow it's difficult to draw blood on my daughter. I guess some people are just like that. However, it's MUCH BETTER now that we got the device. Protimenow, thank you...

Pellicle you are right about the US healthcare system. It will collapse. I came from a European free for all system and people like my daughter don't stand much of a chance. In the US she did thanks to high quality private medicine. In the past 10 years however, as government has taken over the...

Hi RobThatsMe and DachsieMom, thank you so very much for your input. It's for my daughter and she is 12 years old. My nightmare continues. There are absolutely no cardiologists, anticoagulant clinics or anywhere to take a pediatric patient for a finger-prick INR test. NONE. And I live in a...

Great information, thank you very much! This has been the most frustrating thing I have ever come across. We are trying to purchase the device through our insurance because they will pay for it. However, the companies/entities that will sell it are either out of network (ebay and amazon...

Ok. Thank you.

I would like to get feedback on this home monitoring system. I will be using it on my 12 year old daughter. Is it fairly accurate? Easy to use? How does it compare to others on the market? Thank you so much
