The other day I took Zara to the Dr. for her kindergarten physical. I also had some concern about the stomach pains she gets and the fevering that just comes for no reason. The dr. ordered a full blood panel and of couse the usual shot series required for school. I have to say that Zara is a trooper. She did not cry once, and watched every shot be given. Then it was off to give blood. I wasn't so sure about this area, she doesn't have the best of veins. Everybody prepared by holding her arm still and asking if she wanted to look away they must have asked 5 times and then just put the needle in. She once again watched the entire process without moving a muscle. Not even when her vein collapsed and they pulled the needle out and then wiggled it around to get another one, they had to fill 4 big tubes. Not one tear, not one wiggle !!! YOU GO GIRL!!! Everybody was so impressed with her she left with 14 stickers. She ran out of places to put them. We celebrated by having lunch at the park. Our next big step toward school is kindergarten round up next month.I almost forgot the dr. called and every thing came back fine. So I gues we will just watch her and track the stomach pains and fevers.
