A couple of things that helped - I asked for a prescription for this numbing cream (something like Lanacaine, only stronger) and I would apply it a half hour before the lab work. Also, since Mary's veins were impossible to get (the surgeon even had trouble while she was sedated!) I started insisiting that they just do a heel stick (later a finger stick), but have two phlebotomists do tow heels simultaeneously. So, I would apply the lanacaine stuff before we left for the lab, once there I would ask for two heating packs to put on her heels, then I would get the two nurses to do there thing. For over a year, that's how we've done it. I didn't want them digging around for a vein, only to resort to the heel stick eventually. This last time (at 15 months) we finally tried for the vein in her arm again, and Praise God! they got it :) <BR/><BR/>Sorry for the book. Just wanted to offer some ideas from someone who's been there. I'm praying for Charlie, and you too, Megan.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/><BR/>Gabi (a friend of Julie Ruby's daughter in Lombard, IL)Gabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048658444536489511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942757764637381889.post-34575590954138094232009-02-25T15:07:00.000-06:002009-02-25T15:07:00.000-06:00poor thing...what a trooper, though! i love the la...poor thing...what a trooper, though! i love the last photo. adorable!thousand words photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706045915338341297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942757764637381889.post-71665659193038874072009-02-25T10:43:00.000-06:002009-02-25T10:43:00.000-06:00Oh that is so sad... wait until Marley has her 4-5...Oh that is so sad... wait until Marley has her 4-5 year shots... that is the WORST.
