Blood Draw Anyone???

I just wanted to write a quick post and tell you how our day at the blood lab went. We ALL needed to get blood drawn and in AZ you have to go to a lab that is not at the hospital to get it done. So we woke up this morning and headed to the lab. It all went down hill from there. Talamage went first and boy that kid is unbelievably strong. It took every ounce of my srength along with a hefty nurse to hold him still enough to get his draw. He of coarse was going balistic. Poor guy he had no idea what hit him, but he knows he didn't like it. Chelsi went next and the disaster got a little more intense. She as some of you might know does not do well when getting pokes with needles. She was doing fine until the end but then passed out. Talmage started freaking out cause he could tell something wasn't quite right. Things got a little crazy, but everyng turned out OK. On our way out of the lab it was sad to see the kids faces in the waiting room cause they could hear the whole thing and they were scared to death. That kind of morning deserves a little ice cream and playing at the park. Hopefully we don' have to do that again for a LONG time.

Oh my that sounds tramatic. Too bad Annette wasn't there to help you two through it. :) Hopefully all is well and the ice cream makes up for it.

I hate getting my blood drawn too. I have to look away every time they do it. I'm glad everything panned out though.

Those kids should be scared to death!! I am scared to death of needles of every kind. Fortunately though, I am also allergic to pain; this fear allowed me to get an epidural. Hopefully, Chelsi has recovered.
