Slight clarification... :)

.
Okay, so since the last post was written by the guy who passed out the one time I took him to donate blood with me, I thought I (Kate) would add some clarifications... :)

• The lady knocked nicely and came in to do her job, albeit somewhat briskly.
  
• She used the little prick thing that causes a quick pinch feeling and a drop of blood to appear.
• I watched the vial, and I believe she took all of 5 drops of Julia's blood for what they needed for tests.
• And I'm not even sure she was wearing red pants...

Although Julia DID scream for a brief bit, and although the nap DID end (along with it, Chad's and my hopes for one for ourselves!), immediately after that, we got word that we were headed downstairs for Julia's renal (kidney) ultrasound, so she would have woken up anyhow. (The thing I'm more astounded by is that it took literally 27 hours from when the doctor ordered the ultrasound to when we finally got in for it...)

So, although I didn't LIKE the blood drawing, I'm not sure you could label it a "violent activity". Now, the catheterization process yesterday that they let a student nurse try (and fail at) two times before the instructor stepped in on attempt #3 is a different story...
