We had to take poor ethan man to get a blood-draw today. I fortunately had Rob go with me. It was no fun. Not only did he freak out when the needle went in but then tensed his arm and muscle too much that they only got half a tube of blood when they needed 3!!! The blood stopped coming b/c he was too tensed and so we had the choice to try again in the other arm (where the nurse couldn't find a vein) or come back another day.
So....we're supposed to go again. Oh joy. I called the Dr. office though to see if we can hold off on the blood draw until we get results from other tests they are running on his stool (i know, too much info). They said yes, wait....so hooray, we don't have to go back til we get results, but when and if we do Rob wants to see if what we can numb him with or knock him out with. It was so sad too have this done to a little guy who doesn't understand why it's happening to him.
The reason we are getting tests done is because Ethan has had chronic diarrhea and we are trying to see what is causing it so that he can eat normally without having stomach problems. He is such a good eater but EVERYTHING besides the sick diet (bananas, rice, bread, noodles, etc.) goes straight through him. Fun times.
