Getting Blood Drawn

Avery has Eczema pretty bad and we had to go to Children's Hospital of Atlanta (CHOA) to get her blood drawn, she did so good, she only fussed for a moment and cried just a few tears. The nurse did have to stick her twice though, for some reason she didn't quite hit the vein the first time. So she got stuck in both arms, poor thing.

The dr says when she see's eczema this bad it may be a food allergy. So this blood test will tell us what she's allergic to and I can just eliminate that food from my diet and the ecsema may clear up. In the mean time she told us to bathe her in Cetaphil and use the Cetaphil cream to moisturize her skin. She is 2 1/2 months old and just such a big girl! Click on the image for more pictures.

Hi Avery,
Althought no one else can see that we resemble I can. Don't let them worry you about your eczema, because you will have beautiful skin like mine when you get older. Just let your mommy & daddy do all the tests for your eczema and when the Doctors figure out the problem everyone will be OK. Love you Cousin Brenda (your Twin)
