49. My daughter had that experience . . .

Sunday

She's an extremely easy stick, but every once in a while she gets a stinker.

After missing twice, the home infusion worker called to get permission to stick a third time . . . and missed. My daughter refused to even let her think about a 4th time. So they had to send a specialist out the next day since they had already mixed the infusion and it had a 24-hour shelf-life.

The specialist got her easily on the first try (as nearly everyone does since she was 4 years old).
