2 Year Check Up

I forgot about this picture... but not the experience. We went to Kowin's 2 year check up. Everything went well. Got his finger pricked to test his iron. Went home and got a call that his iron tests were really off and we would have to come back to prick his finger again. Ok. 2 minutes later the nurse calls again. We now need to go to the big hospital because their machine might not be working. Ok. So I pack up Kowin and drive down to the hospital. In order to get to the Lab you go through the ER... and they have to Admit you!!! Never done that before for lab work. (and we do lots of lab work between the two of us) It took 30 minutes to get admitted. In the lab, the routine is normal except for the way the phlebotomist wants me to hold Kowin. I've never had to hold him down before. So he probably wasn't too comfortable. The girl pocked his arm three times with no luck. The next lady came in and got it done her first time. In the end I think a 5 minute process ended up taking an hour. As we were driving home I noticed I had a new voice mail. Checked it. It was the nurse that called before, saying that I didn't have to go to the hospital after all. I could have gone to the clinic. Are you serious?!?!?

Whenever Kowin gets his blood drawn, he always falls asleep on the way home. After this picture he was out for the whole night. What a BAD day!
