Will had to go for his blood test today. Our paed recommended we go to the local hospital as they bulk billed and if we had of gone privately it would have cost money. Fair enough. So I took Will this morning to our local hospital - which is a large Sydney hospital, where the Pathology section was full of people. Urggh! I hate waiting and even more so with a two year old who hates waiting! Luckily we ran into A's sister in law and niece, who were there for Belindas pregnancy check ups. So Aunty San played with Will and kept him amused.
Our number was called and in we go. There the bombshell was dropped. The tests were not bulk billed and would cost $460! Oops! Hoping the credit card had enough of a limit. Must be close now!!! I ran into a friends mother that I have known since primary school and they were able to chase it up for me and luckily I dont have to pay for it. Not that we wouldnt have not paid for it, but it would have been nice to be prepared!
The lovely ladies did a great job with him, he was crying and trying to move the whole time. I had his legs and other arm under control and one lady had his arm. She was holding the top and the bottom while the other lady was taking the blood. Bloody little git was moving his elbow the whole time. She even commented on how strong he was - low muscle tone my backside!!
The waiting game is on now. It is a six week wait for the results to get back to our Paed from Concord Hospital. Hopefully it comes back negative all over! Then we can really get on with things!
Thats all for today!
