Our little trooper

Lillian has had three visits to the doctor's office since she's been home, all for simple tests and assessments. Unfortunately, at least from her point of view, two of those visits have included a total of four vials of blood drawn, six shots, and one TB skin test. (Our doctor ran bloodwork on her to confirm which immunizations she had received, and as a result Dr. Tran wanted to start from scratch on some of the series.) Yesterday her TB skin test was read as negative, which is good news.
 
Lillian doesn't mind going to the doctor's office, but once she's back in an exam room she starts to get nervous, especially if anyone tries to roll up her sleeves or tug on her pant leg. She definitely knows what's going on when there's a needle to be seen.
 
After the visit to the doctor's office, Lillian went to meet some of Kari's coworkers at The University of Kansas Hospital. She had a great time running around the maze of office dividers in Kari's office, and she enjoyed meeting everyone.
 
Lillian had a good nap on the drive home. She's become a fairly good napper, especially when we can get her to sleep on her folded-out Dora couch. She only slept in the car yesterday (the carseat puts her to sleep within minutes if she's even a little tired), but as the photo illustrates, she can knock out a few Z's indoors in the mid-afternoon too.
