Some may call PKU a test for a generic disorder, but I call PKU a punishment designed to punish kids for being born, once at birth, and once at 7-14 days. We arrived at the hospital and the operative (aka nurse) initiated her by installing on a warming device on her foot…
The little sweet Odelia was sleeping happily, oblivious to her inevitable fate of being subjected to the rituals of the Five Circles of Blood.
Yes, it made me cringe as I saw it unfold before my eyes. Oh the cruelties of reality, a necessary evil. Welcome to this world, Odelia.
oh my gosh! that was so hard to watch. i wanted to cry for her too. i’m sure we’ll go through that with our own baby. poor baby 🙁
Yeah, it was very tough in that spot, a helpless feeling. And do they really need all five circles to be completely filled? I’m just sooo glad that part is over.
