So, we had to take Nicholas for bloodwork yesterday. Yes, the dreaded bloodwork. Ug. My nerves were shot 2 days in advance. I had the typical blood pressure headache and everything. So, we get there and Nicholas is fine in the waiting room and when they called us back, he walked into the room and climbed into the chair and they turned on dragontales for him. He was quite happy – until we layed him down on the bed and held him down. He didn’t fight or kick this time, he just cried and cried and cried. As soon as they were done, he stopped crying and was back to his cheery self. This was SO much different from last time. It wasn’t great, but it didn’t want to make me crawl in a hole and die either.

So, I get home and am looking at the results (I waited for a bunch of them) and they MISSED THE MOST IMPORTANT Rx for the CBC/Chem Panel. I just about wanted to cry. We had to take him back this morning and I thought that he would freak out the second he realized where he was, but he didn’t. Same as yesterday, he cried, but he didn’t totally freak out. Thank goodness.

I do have to mention, that since having his blood drawn yesterday, he is acting so much better than usual. I’m not the only person who has noticed it, so I know it wasn’t my imagination.
