I could feel my heart being ripped apart again today. It was just a routinary blood exam but they couldn't find Cerise's vein. We were supposed to have it done last Saturday but after an hour and a half of poking and squeezing and looking for it, the chief med tech said that we should just try again on another day to let Cerise rest also.
Today, Mier didn't go to work so he could accompany me to the hospital. We usually do it at the ER so Cerise can lie down and there's ample light for the medical technicians. But then they still had difficulty doing it. Oh, she was crying her heart out and looking at me with imploring eyes! I had to be brave. I had to find strength and I was praying so hard that all will be well.
They were able to extract some blood but since Cerise is more active now, they lose the vein when she moves. They decided to prick her instead and squeeze the blood out for the remaining needed blood. They needed about 3-4cc of blood for seven tests. TSH, FT3 and FT4 for Thyroid, SGPT and SGOT for the liver, Ionized Calcium for the Genetic clearance and the usual CBC. My poor baby!
Finally, they were able to collect enough blood. Now for the wait. Now, we pray that results are good. We pray that it will all be good.
