I forgot to mention that I received a call this afternoon from the immunology nurse and she asked which lab we took Arianna to for her blood draw, I told her it was the main Labcorp because this test is so special no other lab in town could draw it, then she tells me that Labcorp can not find her labs. Are you kidding me…they did this to us last year. It took them 3 different times before they got it right. I really hope it was a mix up and we won’t have to take her back for another blood draw. This is just so frustrating to me because Monday will be 3 weeks since we drew these labs and I waited to call till exactly 2 weeks because I knew that’s how long it would take to process. I really wish people knew how to do their jobs right so my baby would not have to be poked so many times. I’m normally a nice person but when you’re poking my baby I have to draw the line somewhere.
I’m still waiting to hear back from her pediatrician to discuss the MRI situation. I’ve also noticed that Arianna’s lower back pops a lot. I don’t know if that matter but it’s something that I’ve picked up on and I’m wondering if that has anything to do with her extra lumbar vertebra or scoliosis. Who knows…maybe it’s just a normal back popping thing, but when you’re a heart mom…nothing is normal to you.

Lab Corps sucks! My mom worked for them once and it was the only job that she ever walked out of. They have very shoddy lab practices and make frequent errors. I hope that they figure out what happened to your daughter's blood sample.
Lab corp sucks indeed!
Does your cardiology office have a lab? Ours does...and they let us come in anytime and they'll draw the labs and send them off for us. If your card doesn't...check with your other docs and see if their offices have "in house" labs!
I hope they find it...GEEZ!
(or can you just take her to the hospital for lab work??)
gosh..I would be SO mad!!!
Sorry Vanessa!
hope this doesn't spoil your weekend!
I am sorry that you have to encounter this stuff. You are so right that nothing is normal to us "heart moms". We do have to stand up for our kiddos, and that is all you are doing. That doesn't make you an "un-nice" person, just a wonderful mommy!!!! "

How frustrating! How can they just not have the blood?? That means another stick and another long wait. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this, Vanessa.
Wow ! How can you loose blood ? We've never had anything lost . We did once have a hard time getting blood from Maggie . But we've never had lost blood samples .
Is there any other place to take her to get her blood drawn ?
That is mighty scary that someone can loose blood samples .
