1st Year blood work
Sux!!! It was traumatizing for DD, me, my Mom, the nurse taking the blood and the man in the waiting room who heard it all go down  She broke out in such hysterics, she was bright red and sweating, I was drenched by the time it was over...how many times do I have to get this done? They had to try 2 times b/c the first vein didn't provide enough blood
We went for the blood work where they measure the lead levels.

Re: 1st Year blood work
same thing happened to us...it was so bad, DH started to cry, and that NEVER happens......I am terrified to go for 2 year blood work (I think we have to go at 2 years old)

Re: 1st Year blood work
Jacen was the same way and is that way for every appointment. 
I think that's it for the bloodwork.

Re: 1st Year blood work
Blood work? DD didn't get blood work done at her 12month.
We go tomorrow for her 15 month. I hope they don't do it then.

Re: 1st Year blood work
Seamus only had his finger pricked and then they squeezed a few drops of blood onto some paper and into a tube. They had the machine in the office and I had the results right away!
They said its too invasive to do the other way so they do it this way. They had just gotten the machine, etc.
He was only mad because the nurse wouldnt let go of his finger!! lol

Same here for his 12 month. But we have had to get jacen have blood drawn. BOTH were very traumatic to him and to us!  This kid will hate doctors for the rest of his life.
