30-4-2008 - She cries I cry...

My mood while writing this blog: sad

---

Today was Ahriana's checkup.. she weighs 6 pounds and doc is happy.. He checked her over and told me that she is still slightly jaundice and he will have to get some blood from her.. I was scared but he told me there was nothing to worry about with her jaundice she is not a severe case .. I asked if she is in pain or anything and he laughed and told me she is ok.. he also told me she is a bit on the red side with her skin color so the blood work will be done on her.. well they went to look for her veins and unfortunately they weren't able to get one.. it was there but they weren't able to draw from it and my poor baby was crying.. so the next method of getting blood from her was to prick her heel and squeeze it into these small tubes.. let me tell you.. I had to step out and let my husband deal with it.. I was not there when they first pricked her heel but her screams brought tears to my eyes I can tell she was in enormous pain by the way she screamed.. I waited a few minutes thinking they would be done soon.. I decided to go back into the room so I can soothe my baby with some breast milk..when I walked in they weren't done yet.. so I told my husband to watch our 4 yr old out in the waiting area and I would take it from there.. my poor newborn baby was all tears and beet red waving her arms franticly.. I place my hands in front of her and she was grabbing at them like as if to get away from the doc.. I looked and seen that he was squeezing her heels to get the blood dripping into the tubes and she would scream with pain.. I cried .. one thing I am glad it was the doc I trusted because if it was any other I would have lost my mind and cursed them all the way to the core of the earth! He soothed me and told me it is ok he doesn't like doing this but he has to because they couldn't get a vein from her arm etc... after he was done I got my baby back in my arms and she calmed down with small cries as if to tell me about her ordeal .. I offered breast she took it but immediately fell asleep.. I feel so hurt having her go through that.. even with my first daughter I cried.. tomorrow I get the results of the test to see where we stand.
