A sad day at the Haynes house, yesterday-


After our 9 month Dr. visit we were directed to take Reagan to a Lab to get some blood drawn for "lead levels".  They were just going to make sure everything was clear in her blood- she is slightly anemic and having to take iron supplements, and b/c she is on iron, they like to check for lead in the blood.  Anywho- she was so sweet and happy in the waiting room, making friends with everyone and when we went in- it was HORRIBLE!  That was definitely worse then shots, I had to hold her down for them to find a vein, and when they got the needle in, they couldn't get any blood- after about 5 mins of torture for her, ... and myself- they did it in her hand and she was so upset!  Poor Angel.  
This picture was taken after we got home and she was smiling- I couldn't believe it!  (If you double click the picture, you can see her little bandage)
This was the face that I saw the majority of the morning- Poor, Poor baby!

Poor Reagan! You'd think they'd have a more "baby friendly way" of doing this.

Awwwww little angel. After seeing those bandages, my bottom lip came out and I almost really teared up. I hate that for any little kid. I was at hospital yesterday for my cancer surgery, and while walking down the hallway I said "Im glad its me here, I would hate to be here seeing my child in pain as some parents see every day."

So what is going on with here to be getting this done???
