Hazel and Willa had check ups with the doctor today and it went badly from the beginning. We managed to get there on time which was a miracle going anywhere with the both of them. BUT... it went down hill shortly after. Hazel was very upset about going to the doctor. She cried the entire time! I tried explaining to her that it was just a check up and that they weren't going to do anything scary or painful. Needless to say, I was wrong and made me out to be a liar. Willa was first up and she hasn't gained any weight in the last week. Unfortunatly, that means we have to go back again next week to check her weight and see what is going on with her. The worst news was that her PKU test was not done correctly last week and we had to do it AGAIN! Hazel nor Willa are bleeders. Last week it took 20 minutes of squeezing, bleeding, screaming, and crying to try and get enough blood for the test. Now we had to do it again. I wasn't pleased and ended up calling Tim to come help. I couldn't bear to watch her scream again. It is heartbreaking! Thankfully the nurse got it done in about 15 minutes this time but had to cut both of her feet twice to get enough blood for the test.
Hazel ended up having to get a blood and urine test. Peeing in a cup was great fun but the poke on the finger was devastating! At first she was thrown off by the idea of peeing in a cup but then thought of it as a rare treasure. She wanted to hold the cup while were waiting in the office and then was extremely upset that we had to give it to the nurse and not take it home. The office assistant thought that was hilarious! The finger poke went as well as to be expected. I was much happier to do that than the 3rd PKU test.
Hours later, Hazel is still nursing her poor finger and is requesting ice packs frequently. Willa cried herself to sleep when leaving the doctors office and is still out cold. I am sure they will live atleast until next week, when they have to go back and get their vacinations (if I can get them within a 10 yard radias of the doctors office)!!!!
