[Fiction question] How much blood can you draw in how short a time from a 10-year-old child?

Asked by Jeruba (55843points) November 28th, 2009

The boy is ten years old and of average size for his age. He had two ounces of blood drawn an hour ago. He has also been through a lot of stress in the past hour, in case that is relevant.

What will happen if two more ounces are drawn now?

What if only one is taken now?

How much difference would it make if he had one instead of two drawn an hour ago? One nice thing about writing fiction is that you can revise the past as much as you need to.
