[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 56536, member: 831"] Get the Emla cream. I don't know what I would have done with out it when Daughter was undergoing Chemo for Leukemia. She had a port in her chest and I can't even imagine how much it would have hurt to have been poked there with the big gauge gaue needles they used. Daughter didn't even flinch when they stuck the needle in her with Emla to get some blood drawn. On another note: I had a HUGE needle phobia when I was a kid that lasted until I was in my twenties and was persuaded by a co-worker to be a blood donor. I was able to get over most of it doing that for years. Anyway, my Dad was in the oil business and there was talk of our family moving to Saudi Aradia when I was a kid. What did I get freaked about? The shots! I still remember the extreme anxiety I felt over that. I was so relieved when it was decided we would stay in the states. Yay! No shots!. I remember as a teenager holding on to my Mom and hiding my face crying when I had to get some blood drawn. The old bag of a nurse was such a crab and let her disgust with me be known. So, I know what your difficult child is going through. [/QUOTE]
