Wrist Band = Treat

Bryson had to get his blood drawn for his egg allergy, they needed to do an immunio cap (I think that it is what it's called) I am so proud at how well Bryson did when they drew his blood. We had to go to the hospital to get it drawn and he didn't like getting his wrist band on, so I told him that it was so that he could get a treat. He then was proud to wear the wrist band. Once we went in to get his blood drawn we gave him a sucker, by then he just held it as he watched the lady put the rubber tie around his arm, and once she poked him he started crying. I tried humming to him, but we had to restrain him so that he wouldn't grab the needle and he didn't like that. He did stop crying for a little bit while they were drawing the blood and was just watching the blood come out, then he started to cry again. He really didn't like getting a band-aid put on it either. We had him wear it home but then took it off once we got home. He also didn't really care for his sucker anymore. I don't know if he will like getting a wrist band on again to get a treat. Hopefully he won't need to get his blood drawn again for awhile, poor guy!

Oh bryson, i know how you feel bud! i had to get my blood drawn last week. You're brave for doing that at your young age. Lucky for you, you got a treat. I'm glad it's over for you, blood tests are no fun.
