Since the central line is not in place yet we had to go for an old fashion blood draw at the hospital6/7  instead of having a needle free draw at home from the central line.  The routine that we have are blood draws on Monday and Thursday.  We opted for a trip to the zoo on the way home. The hospital is 3 min drive from the Lincoln Park Zoo. So we enjoyed some lunch and some ice cream and forgot all about the needle poke.
