[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 313109, member: 6705"] Sigh. husband and I took Jett in for beginning of neuropsychologist in June. Of course he had to have blood drawn - and BM has taken him so many times that he is absolutely [I]petrified[/I] of needles (don't tell anyone I said this, but the kid is a wimp sometimes). I went back with him. The tech and I could NOT hold him. He actually hit the poor tech in the face. I managed to get his attention on me at first, and he wasn't looking - till the tech taped the tube on. Flailing child - and he is STRONG. So we called husband in. Got blood drawn. Gets better. He finds out, months later, that friend E is an EMT. Informs all of us that "if that man who took my blood was E I would have let him 'cause he won't hurt me." Nice to have the confidence there, but being stuck with a needle DOES hurt. My Mom used to work in a lab, and I hated being stuck, but she trained her people to be some of the best on the planet. So it wasn't so traumatic for me. I still don't like it. [/QUOTE]
