Micah is 6 years old and and he doesn’t shed a tear!

We had the best phlebotomist. She was so patient with Micah, did such a great job of explaining every step and made him feel calm and relaxed while she drew his blood. For those who are asking. Micah was gettin his blood drawn to test for celiac disease. Came back negative. His dad is a nurse and so all of our kids have been fascinated with anything medical, and he's done a good job at making our kids comfortable with going to the doctor and helping them understand why its important. Also, I was filming this with permission from the phlebotomist to show his daddy and our family how brave he was. Micah especially wanted to be able to show his older siblings too. If you want a tip for helping your child to be more comfortable with getting a shot or their blood drawn, make sure to explain the WHY behind it. I find that when kids understand why they need to get something done, often times they are more compliant. Good Luck everyone! Be brave like Micah and it will be over before you know it! Stay healthy and safe.
