A. A tiny amount of blood is taken from the baby’s heel about 24 hours to 48 hours after birth or before leaving the hospital. A second blood sample is taken from one to two weeks later. The blood sample is put on a piece of absorbent paper, dried and sent to the Texas Department of State Health Services laboratory in Austin for special screening tests.
