Be grateful to short term memory in babies...<BR/><BR/>Pray you don't have to do a breathing treatment either. Though, I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as watching your baby get stuck so many times! But the doctor actually likes the fact that most kids scream during it - it means they're getting good deep breaths of the medicine. Never mind the parents trying desperately to essentially hold their screaming child down and feeling like bad parents for doing so.<BR/><BR/>Again, very glad she's back to normal (well, normal as a Wallis can be ;) ).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13901211.post-1136408936066680122006-01-04T16:08:00.000-05:002006-01-04T16:08:00.000-05:00my heart goes out to you mama!my heart goes out to you mama!cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589351062762587056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13901211.post-1136396163040664052006-01-04T12:36:00.000-05:002006-01-04T12:36:00.000-05:00Sylvie is just like her mom, hates needles.

Remember when you had to have your blood drawn to check you WBC(to see if it was your appendix), the nurses had the hardest time getting the needle in.<BR/><BR/>It's really not so bad getting blood drawn, or IVs I find it easier to watch the needle go in, myself. But I've also had blood drawn lots more often then you.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you are all getting back to normal. Sorry I wasn't there to help you through it all.<BR/>Love and hugs to all of you!!Mandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192565981777340619noreply@blogger.com
