My encounter with "Vampire"

I was diagnosed with a rare skin problem called "urticaria pigmentosa", and the doctor wanted me to do a blood test (check my blood count), so mum and dad brought me to the hospital to draw blood on Tuesday.

Drawing blood from baby is not an easy job! (that's what the doctor said...not me) He was having hard time finding my vein. After poking a needle into my arm but unable to draw any blood out, doctor suggested the neck! yah, like vampire sucking blood from the neck...

So, you can imagine me crying and screaming like hell when the needle was poked into the vein in my neck! mum was so panic that she cried with me, as for dad? hmm... his eyes were red, but maybe because he was tired holding me down to stop me from kicking while doctor "sucking" my blood...

Look at the plaster on my neck...OUCH!~~
