Newborn Screen

Lauren, Lolli, Poppy & Gma Cathy went to Lynda's this morning so Poppy could get her blood drawn for her newborn metabolic screening test. Apparently Poppy is a very good clotter (despite not having goten a vitamin K injection at birth), because Lynda was only able to fill 1/2 of 1 circle with blood after pricking her heel. There were 5 circles to fill, so they decided to get more agressive with an IV in Poppy's hand which hurt less than squeezing the crap out of her foot. Even that wasn't working so well, so Lynda pulled the IV thingie out and just let Poppy bleed for a few seconds from her hand. So now she has a bruise on her tiny hand, but she didn't seem to mind. She was nursing and actually fell asleep!
