handling it all

So today is a half day at school, so when Messy gets home we will go to Children's hospital to get a blood draw...blood draws are difficult

did you ever see the movie Underdog?
well in that movie the evil scientist steals away all of Underdog's power with a needle
she thinks they are trying to take away her power

what is her power?
I'm not sure, but it is wonderful and she doesn't want people with needles taking it and can't understand why her mother is letting them do it. the place we usually do it is the pediatrician's office, they wont do it anymore so we must take her to children's it's actually been awhile since we did a draw...maybe she wont give us such a hard time this time?

we have had a lot of blood draws she has had Thrombocytopenia it means her platelet count was low, it improved, but you have to keep checking it, plus blood draws to test her epilepsy medication levels, and all the genetic testing they do on her.

everyone wants to steal her power

*sigh*

the end of the month we have an appointment with the Hematology department to go over the results of the platelet count

we will wait for a call from the Epilepsy clinic to hear how her levels are

after we get her blood drawn I need to take her somewhere fun

where?

anyone have any ideas?

she hates C E C it's too noisy

maybe we will just go and buy her a new box of crayons?

LOL - Essie ran 7 laps around the gym yesterday in after school care and she thought her reward should be Dairy Queen... I told her that kind of defeated the purpose ;)

I think the Crayons sound like a GREAT idea.
