I'm sorry the two of you had to go through that, and I hope your daughter is all right.
Two years ago when my Susannah had to have a series of hip surgeries, she would get hysterical each time they came to put in the IV. I kept asking for a light sedative and they kept saying it "wasn't protocol." Finally I started slipping the kid a half a xanax that I had already, before we left the house. By the time we got there, she really didn't care what they did to her.
Oh, and the kicker was, twice they made her pee in a cup to do a pregnancy test -- she was ten years old and not menstruating, but bc. she was so tall and muscular looking, the nurses just did not believe either of us that she had not started her periods. I really appreciated being called a liar, naturally...
Anyway it did get her over the hump, and when she had to have bloodwork done to diagnose her mono, she was pretty calm about the needle.
I hope Logan is feeling better. It must have been hell for you both.
