Re: Fasting?

,

Sometimes even though they tell you no food after midnight, you can

give clear liquids up to a certain hour, like 4am. Apple juice falls

into that category. You can also ask if you can give her the glucose

gel just in case.

I think it depends on what the blood test is

for. just had blood work done by Dr. H's

assistances. After yelling and vomitting, I asked if

she could at least have water and they said no. Now

on the other hand, has had a cardiac catheter

and the cardiologist and anesthesiologist said fasting

after midnight, however, would allow clear fluids

which included broth but must be like a chicken broth

not a beef broth.

If they don't allow anything I would recommend

bringing snacks and juice with you so that Tori can

have something as soon as she is done. 's blood

work didn't get started until about 9:45 a.m. and had

to go 2 hours. We gave her M & Ms, a Nestle Crunch bar

and fruit loops. I only had water with me in case

they would allow her to at least have that. I didn't

have juice for afterwards.

When is Tori's blood work and for what? I would even

try calling the lab to see if they can help answer

that question.

Good Luck!!
