More BLOOD

I have been putting this off WAY too much. I have tried to figure out why exactly but who knows. She needed MORE blood work. This time one of the tests is to determine if she has Lupus. (Maybe I didn't really want to know). As usual we dabbed the numbing cream on her arms before we go in, but something was different. There were 2 other children getting their blood taken before us and Keira heard them scream and said, "I don't scream like that I am brave." Granted without the cream she probably would scream just as loud, and usually she does whimper and cry a bit. However this time she didn't even cry, whimper or squirm AT ALL. He stuck her with the needle and she just HAD to watch. But he couldn't get the vein so he proceeds to poke and dig around to find the vein... It grossed me OUT. So I calmly tell him,"You better find that vein because I am getting pretty disgusted at all this poking around and I just might puke!!" With that he asked for back up and the second attendant found it right away. I think she was also very brave because her Grandma was waiting in the lobby and Keira had told her that she didn't scream.

Now we wait for results.....
