I wonder if my kid is going to flip out when I donate blood tomorrow

GBCK

I made an appt and she'll be coming with because if they want my blood, they ahe to take it on my day off, when I haev a kid in tow.

But she doesn't like doctors.  hmm.

I guess the worst that could hapepn is I can't donate and I leave w/ her.

Well, I can imagine worse, but it's unlikely she'll become a vampire, rip out the needle, and run screeching around as blood pours out.

My kid would love it and find it incredibly interesting.   Buffy's a bright kid - I bet she'll find it interesting, too.

can she sit still for 20 minutes or so, and will you want/be able to lift her (if necessary) or chase after her post donation?

good for you, donating. i had a bad experience once, and won't do it anymore.

As long as there are books and crayons, she can sit that long--she normally manages to make it through an hour's worth of church w/o making me chase her down. 

But church is less scary.

Post donation I'm usually fine.  I'm going to make sure I drink lots o' fluids and take my vitamins and see if there's red meat in the house tonight, JIC.

there are normally old ladies there who volunteer who would probably help to keep her busy/watch her while you are donating. I have seen little kids at different drives so it's not unheard of for someone to bring their kids.
