I decided this year to get us flu shots. I’m not against them, just a personal preference not to. As many other things lately….I’ve “changed” my mind. I took all 3 kids and myself this morning, not so much fun. all 3 cried….screamed at first. Ava, my darling drama queen was the worst. It went on and on with her. Thank God for Aunt Patti to save the day and make it all better, and Ava’s best friend Skylar as a bribe!!!!! Aunt Patti told Ava she couldn’t play with Skylar on the playground unless she went back to class (yes, we got the shots before class). We are all a little sore from the shot. Used tylenol on all of us. the best part, they get to do it all over again in 1 month. Since it is their first flu shot they have to split the dose, half now and half in a month! YIPPEE! and Ava is due for her 4 yr old vaccines. it sucks that she is so sensitive to pain and such!
why did I change my mind….I’m in class 2 days a week with 10 - 12 other kids and so is Sofie. Just figured I could protect myself against ONE thing. If you don’t know, the flu shot is only a certain string on the virus….there could be many different strings this season that we are not protected against. as I said, at least I’m protected against one thing! KNOCK ON WOOD….we have been pretty lucky in the past. Let’s hope this is a good season too!!!!!!!
