Yep...it helps to go to a phlebotomist....and for people all over the world to be praying....and thanks to Yuji for telling me to make them drink a lot of water before we went. :)
woohoo! glad it went well for you...and they even posed...smiles....started work today...went well...gonna take some getting used to working a regular hour job though...smiles...
yep...went very smoothly. Alex had to get stuck twice but he was the only one.
And good for you....wondered if you would take that job. You didn't even miss a paycheck, did you? I've been praying. :) Ah, the morning train again? Yep...but it will become routine soon.
Spencer was the last, so he was a little apprehensive after watching his brothers. But The Mister was there..and an extra phlebotomist, so between all of us, he couldn't really get away. lol....
See it was all the extra prayer of a feline That truly made it just fine Or maybe the water thing Or maybe the person letting the needle fling Pffft we'll go with that cat So the ego can rise at his mat hahaha
haha...you must be one of those special cats with the fancy collars, spells and all of that. yes, and with the big ego to match but I think I already knew that! lol...
I'm so glad it went well! Stuff like bloodwork can be so stressful--my husband has a terrible time with it--they can't find his veins, and he hates needles. :)
Oh gosh, that would be really hard. My son passes out at the sight of blood, needles, or heavy discussion of medical procedures. I almost want to ask his doctor to give him a blood test while he is still younger so I can go with him and help him through it. As it is, he will probably have his blood test when he is too old for his 'mommy' to go with him. I hope you boys were brave! Did you bribe them? I would!! Ice creams all around!
yes..I bribed them with a big bag of their favorite potato chips. haha. They munched all the way home. :) I take it your son will not be going into the medical field for a career? lol....
We ended up going to Compunet, right across the street from the hospital. Someone suggested the phlebotomists there would be better and we wouldn't have to wait through all the hospital registration. They were SO right! Glad we went there...they were great.
Oh boy! I'm glad that went well, and quickly! My daughter used to faint every time she had blood drawn as a child...thank goodness she outgrew that trait...lol!
They didn't faint and watched carefully! haha. I got very dizzy last time I had blood drawn...but they filled 4 vials and I thought I would have none left! lol....
That's the way to do it! So happy for you all. All those prayers and positive energy sent you way must've definetly helped.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know they helped! I could feel it, too. Thank you! :)
DeleteOops, I just noticed a typing error up there. Definitely is what I definitely meant to write. Hope the boys are all relaxing now.
DeleteI didn't even notice..lol....
DeleteSo they found the veins? Glad to see that someone knows their job!

DeleteI'm so glad it went well! Stuff like bloodwork can be so stressful--my husband has a terrible time with it--they can't find his veins, and he hates needles. :)
ReplyDeletenext time tell him to drink a lot of water before he goes...I think that made a huge difference!
DeleteOh gosh, that would be really hard. My son passes out at the sight of blood, needles, or heavy discussion of medical procedures. I almost want to ask his doctor to give him a blood test while he is still younger so I can go with him and help him through it.

DeleteYay!!! So glad it went well!!
ReplyDeletethanks, nanny....we are, too! Whew! :)
DeleteI was near the hospital and wondered if you had been there and gone yet! SO GLAD you survived!
ReplyDeleteWe ended up going to Compunet, right across the street from the hospital. Someone suggested the phlebotomists there would be better and we wouldn't have to wait through all the hospital registration. They were SO right! Glad we went there...they were great.
DeleteWhew. That's a relief!
ReplyDeleteyes....so glad that's done! :)
DeleteWow, glad to see that it all went so well. Even taking one child can be hard but three is an event. You are a most patient woman.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
thanks, MrsU....Yes, it was an event! But then, everything we do seems to be. lol....
DeleteOh boy! I'm glad that went well, and quickly! My daughter used to faint every time she had blood drawn as a child...thank goodness she outgrew that trait...lol!
ReplyDeleteThey didn't faint and watched carefully! haha. I got very dizzy last time I had blood drawn...but they filled 4 vials and I thought I would have none left! lol....
