The heel pricks sucked because they needed more blood than when we do a finger prick. They had to fill a small vial to send to the lab. It usually meant more than one stick.
My little one is in nicu due to low blood sugar. I am hopeful the end is in sight. But they do check the first 24 hours to ensure the blood sugar levels are good.. My little guy was in the 30s and should be more than 50-60.
