You can tell her I'll take her to Blockbuster tomorrow and we'll get her some games for her Playstation 2

She didn't see them doing anything, and had the first attempt no probs with a big 'OW!'. 2nd try she got upset and pulled away and that was it, hysteria.
I tried reasoning/bribery/cross/etc. LOL I need to up the ante!

Matt, your offer may be working, she said '.....just me?' LOL

Yep just her, as long as its alright with her Mum, we'll go in the MINI and she can choose games

She'll have to let her sisters play them too but she gets to choose.

Poor thing.
*hugs to you both*

Pebs, you and Daisy have been in my thoughts since first I read this thread, I have checked back here every day and haven't been willing to ask how things are. I know that you have probably had a very stressful Christmas.

I really do hope that whatever it is, it isn't too serious and that 2009 is the best year yet for you both.

Nutcase · 30-12-2008, 15:29

Aw the poor lass

I remember my Mum used to have to sit on me to keep me still to take blood tests. Glad they don't do that any more!

MB you are a hero of the highest order

How do you always know the right thing to say?

Pebs · 30-12-2008, 18:47

It's done

I took her back on my own, so no sisters and Daddy to add to the stress, she was terrified! There was a 'crazy' man (funny and loud and telling the women to stop faffing and get on with it type stuff) there doing it, and a lady came out of the room that we were in that morning saying the woman working in there (who tried in the morning) couldnt get her veins so had sent her to see the crazy man. So we decided to cut out the middle woman and go straight for crazy!

He was ace, really loud and daft and whilst prodding around for her veins and bending her arms said no wonder it hurt, the woman in the morning had gone for a tendon instead of a vein. Daisy had a big wobble, crazy man told her to trust him and he wouldnt hurt her and before you knew it it was done. She didnt feel a thing! I just about resisted offering to have his children and we whizzed to the shops to buy some new boots as promised. Such a pity we didn't see him this morning - I have the same problem with no veins and phlebotomists always see me as a challenge and love a good dig about rather than concedeingthey may not be up to the job and getting someone else. Pheebs is the same and we had a horrific experience at GOSH where I had to pin her arms and feet under my armpits while the docs sat behind me and took the blood whilst she screamed the place down.

Sorted anyway, 4 weeks till the results. MB, she's going to be on you like a limpet tomorrrow

Can finally get ready to PARTAY!

Nutcase · 30-12-2008, 18:56

That's great news

A lot of the times my mum had to sit on me was at GOSH. They're very good, but I guess can be a tad ungentle
