Kathy, your daughter and mine sound EXACTLY ALIKE when it comes to the blood draws. It used to take 2 of us to hold her so they could stick her with the needle. She would scream and cry and I would cry (not scream!) right along with her. Only thing is she would stop crying when it was over and I would keep on going. Finally she decided to be a BIG GIRL. We bribed her - always a trip to the gift shop at the hospital for something - coloring book, small toy, candy treat. Tonia, I know it is upsetting now, but in time it will get easier. My daughter has gone in for years now and just sits in the chair, sticks out her arm - and watches! I can't even look when they take her blood and now see thinks that is funny. Hang in there. We will keep you in our prayers. Things to get better.
