Lead
I got a call yesterday from Jake's Doctor, his blood tests came back and his lead level is to high. She wanted him to come back in today to have another test taken. I had to have John go with me this time because when they took his blood last time he just screamed and screamed, broke my heart. Well this time was no better, worse even since they couldn't get his blood today. They stuck him 4 times but still didn't get it. So they want me to bring him back Monday afternoon to try again. Ugh! I am not happy, I mean that poor baby just screamed and yelled for mama....he wasn't the only one crying by the end of the Dr's visit. I was cry almost as much as he was. I just am not sure were he would have gotten lead in his system. We do have an old house but has been painted 3 times since we moved in so there shouldn't be any lead paint showing anywhere. I have checked the toy recall list land he doesn't have any of the toys that were recalled because of the lead paint.....although I did read that remodeling of old buildings could let lead loose in the air. The church I am cleaning has been remodeling a little. They have done 2 or 4 rooms so far. Jake isn't there when the work is going on but he is there with me when I am cleaning up the mess afterward. So that is the only place I could even imagine that he would get anywhere near lead.
