My super tough 3yr. old

I'm so proud of my little Leah. She's had some problems for a while now, and we were referred to a specialist in Greenville. Her appointment was this morning. I like to tell my children in advance if they are going to have shots or blood drawn, might not work for everyone, but it works for me. So I told Leah last night that they might have to draw some blood. She didn't like that, but was ok about it and went on to sleep with no problem. And this morning she was great...until we were almost there. I looked back at her to tell her we would be there in a minute and her little lip went south. It was pitiful! We prayed together and then went into the office. We ended up having to go to some lab place to have her blood drawn. And when we got there they told me I had to have some drawn too!! What?! I know...that's what I thought! Anyway, they took her's first and she was such a big girl! Knowing that they were getting ready to stick her she still listened to the nurses every order and just shook her head in acknowledgement. They took five vials from her, and all she did was whimper! I'm glad they did her first, because I was the little whimp..I mean I didn't cry, but I sure wasn't liking it. Leah is my little hero! Anyway, if ya'll could say a prayer for Leah that everything comes back fine I would be grateful. We won't know anything for about two weeks. Thank you in advance!

I hope everything works out and I will keep all of you in my prayers. I am sure as a parent, you feel helpless sometimes, but children are tougher than we give them credit for. Hang in there!
