Inoculation Day Again! 10/07/2007
Today was inoculation day again for Littlest Lethalu Teresa, it is more traumatic I do believe for the parents then for the little one! But this is the last round of monthly shots, 2 shots and one Polio Vaccine which she really hates the taste of more then taking the two shots I think, you should see her mouth pucker up and grimace when given the oral Polio Vaccine.
As usual she was a real little trooper when given the injections in the front upper legs, one each! This time around she really didn't hardly let out a peep for either shot, really was proud of her! She is running a slight fever naturally, expected as they give you just a tad bit of the virus to allow your system to develop immunities against it. And now she is free and clear of the Inoculations until her first birthday on April 4th 2008! Thank Goodness.
It's really hard to go in knowing that you're going to have to hold your little one and watch while she's stuck with a couple needles, Chandra I think handles it better then I do, I don't think I show any type of emotion or anything when she's getting her shots but I'm betting that I do and just don't realize it!
This was the third month of the two shots and the oral Polio medicine, and the final for the three as I've already mentioned, there was one month interspersed between these three where the routine was to get the TB Inoculation, that was a real nasty looking one done in August. They take the needle with the TB Inoculation Serum in it and jab it just under the skin in the upper left arm and rotate it around in a circle as they inject the serum, now that wasn't fun to watch believe me!, she did OK with that also even though it took forever it seems for them to finish off the syringe full of serum!
