Thanks for Praying
We took Halle in at 10:30 this morning to get her blood drawn.
James said this guy did a MUCH better job, but still had to stick her three seperate times. Though he got a vein each of the first two times, (inside of her arm and foot), he just wasn't able to get enough blood out of them, since her veins are so small. Halle didn't feel the prick in her heel very much, but it was unsuccesful. The vein in her inner arm blew and so their third shot was in her wrist. James said the technician initially didn't want to try her wrist because it tends to be more painful, and harder to do. But that ended up being where they had success. They decided to try some warm compresses on her wrist before the draw, which helped a lot. He was able to get 2ml's, which he is hoping is enough. Either way, I have already decided that she is not going back. If what they got today turns out not to be enough, we just won't have the test done.
Thanks to everyone for praying. The test results will be back within 5-7 days. We are still praying for a negative result!!!!!
Love you all!
