so we had a checkup today at st. luke's and the doctor advised for urinalysis and cbc. while waiting for her turn at the lab, i explained to her the procedures to be done to her so she would get well. i am more concerned about the blood extraction because i don't like it myself! i can't bear thinking about the pain she will have to go through...
but my little girl was not afraid even if i was talking about needles and blood! i even told her she will feel some pain. i did not sugar coat because she might get traumatized if what she will experience will be worst than what she imagines...
i kept her entertained also by letting her check her number to pop at the screen to signal that it was our turn. and she happily got up when she saw her number on the tv screen. the nurse let us settled in, with xia sitting on my lap to make her feel more comfortable. i was holding her arms so the nurse can correctly position her. there was a problem though as the nurse couldn't find a vein in her arm so he had to prick her finger instead and press it hard so the blood comes out. and the nurse warned prior to the procedure that it was more painful than that of the arm... i got so tensed but did not let xia to feel it.
i was just so amazed how the little handled the process. no drama at all. she was even looking the whole time to her little finger getting pricked and pressed and with the blood coming out! such a brave little kid. i was really impressed!
i was so relieved that even after the procedure, she didn't feel any pain... thanks God!!! maybe she's a doctor in the making! she loves doc mc stuffins also she was maybe inspired by the gross sight of needles and blood! hahaha...
kakaibang bata si xia talaga!
i think she's born with my very strong personality and independence!
what i'm certain about now is that she's born to conquer the world!!! :P
