You would think that as much as they get it done that they should know that

the pain will only last for a short time and if they would just get it over

with they would be done but No we go through this big ritual were I have to

practically sit on them to get it done. I can understand my youngest who is 6

still

through a fit but my oldest is going to be 12 I keep thinking she is going to

grow out of it but I think it is getting worse. Deb A

Hi Deb,

Do they do blood work everytime you have a check-up?

Take care,

Deana, Mom to 13 nocf and 7 wcf

I have two girls with CF and they do blood work on one of the girls and then

the next visit my other daughter has blood work. So every visit I fight with

one child to have blood drawn YUCK!! So they get blood drawn every 6 months.

Deb; well, don't get your hopes up, my great big, tall, German jewish hus

band was screaming until about age 50, and fainted if he looked at the

blood being drawn! (I use my maiden name; could not cope with " Stein

kellner--12 letters)--all but my one screamer were very calm about it,

oddly enough! Perhaps your children are related through some mysterious

connection to my husband's family; even his brother, one year younger, was a

medical screamer! My mother simply fainted each time, clear up

until she died at 102.2--must have seen just too many early films!
