Once again, Annette's blood had to be drawn from her arteries (taken from her forearm) for the faster flow to avoid false high lactate readings. Unfortunately, the doctor "poked" her a few times and was still unable to find her artery so she called for another more experienced doctor who also "poked" her a few times but finally was able to draw the blood. I understand it can be difficult to find her arteries since she's so young but I really wish the doctors would have more skill to reduce her pain....
