Lead Levels are A-OK!

Lead Levels are A-OK! I was super stressed about the appointment for getting Elizabeth's blood drawn, AGAIN. I was so afraid it was going to hurt her. But, I should have known better. Elizabeth is one tough lil' cookie! She flinched when the stuck the needle in and whimpered a tiny amount when the pulled the needle out, otherwise...she was a champ! (I can't believe they didnt even give her a sticker! LOL!) I was so proud of her. If I would have known it was going to be this easy and QUICK, I would have requested them to take blood directly from her vein the first time around! The nurses were MUCH better this time around. Not that our 1st nurse was horrible, she just, well, wasnt the greatest. She was very sloppy. There was blood everywhere when she was trying to get the blood from the finger prick into the vile. Blood all over E's hand, my hand, she even got blood on E's clothes. Argh. Good thing it came out! At this last appointment, after the nurse put the bandaid on, and pulled E's sleeve back down, Elizabeth wanted to go to her! She, the nurses all ooooh'd and ahhhhh'd over her. "She is such a cute baby"--they kept saying! Well, no kidding, she is! :-)
I got a call on Thursday afternoon from the nurse saying that Elizabeth's lead levels came back excellent this time around ( less than .5! Much better than 14!) so we have nothing to worry about. One less thing to worry about!
