August 12: Ouch! 2 More Shots…

on August 24, 2008

Um, that’s a bit too close!

We had a pretty uneventful morning.  Dad had to travel for work, but Mom took the day off to stay home with me.  I guess she missed me so much after being gone all last week!

We went to pick up Grandma  Droste at the train station around 1:00 pm.  I fell asleep on the way, as is becoming pretty common for me.  When I woke up, Grandma was really glad to see me.  I totally remembered her from my last trip to Dow over July 4th and greeted her with a big smile.

After lunch we headed off to my doctors’ office to get the shots that I couldn’t get yesterday because of my temperature on Sunday night.  They are in a new office now, but it’s still not very fun or kid-friendly.  Oh well, I guess that’s just more incentive not to get sick!

I got two shots today, my second HIB and my second polio.  There hasn’t been a case of polio diagnosed in the US in over 20 years, so I guess I’m doing this for the public good.  I cried much less than I have at any of my previous visits, and by the time we got home I wasn’t even fussy — just really sleepy.

Mom had to go to women’s admissions panel for Stanford so Grandma did the bedtime routine — which went perfectly!

I’m immunized and…sleepy!
