some days being a mom is harder than others. when your dog has to have blood work done or get shots, they take him in the back and you never have to see a thing. when it's your baby's turn, you get a front row seat. you and two phlebotomists have to pin him down while his teary eyes look back at you.
aw, i'm sorry! what are they checking for?
ReplyDeleteOh, that is really the worst. Did they try to use a numbing cream? Makenna had to get her blood drawn every 3 months until she was 4 and the cream helped a lot. Sorry! I hope that Ari is okay, silly little guy. Also, if they are worried about wait gain you might want to mention the family history of congenital heart defects. Even a small defect can cause problems with weight gain.
ReplyDelete:( poor little man. You can actually buy the topical novocaine at the pharmacy, oddly enough in the hemorrhoid section. But it's probably the scary factor that he finds so upsetting. Hope tomorrow is full of positive helpful news!
