Today was Jacob's turn at the big city doctors office. We arrived about 20 minutes early so both Jacob and I could play with some toys in the waiting room. The nurse gave Jacob a hand kitted Christmas stocking with a Jimmy Neutron coloring book and a Dale Jr mini remote control racers, how cool was that. Once she noticed me, she brought out another stocking with a Elmo coloring book and a Santa teddy bear. The doctors and nurses at the Cleveland Clinic really go above and beyond to make us feel good about visiting the Children's Hospital. Jacob kept saying that he didn't want a shot, and both mom and dad kept telling him it would be a quick pinch and then it would be over. Our regular doctor, Dr. Kate, was at a blood conference in Orlando (I think she is really at Disneyland) We met with Dr Jennings and then Dr Yap. They both examined Jacob and talked to mom and dad some more about Von Willebrand Disease. When It came time for the nurse to draw blood, Jacob got really scared. A total of 3 nurses and mom and dad had to hold Jacob still while the drew the blood. There aren't any pictures of the office visit this time because everyone had their hands full. Jacob was really really scared, and held onto dad pretty tight after it was over. He's not looking forward to coming back here. The doctor said she'd call in a few days with the initial results.
This was Jacob on the way back to the packing garage. We both really like this cool tunnel under the road. The lights change colors.
We had to park on the top level of the garage. The view was pretty cool, we got to see all the work their doing on the Clinic.
