The Immunization Blues


The girls had to have well checks for me to get Hannah her allergy medicine and Genevieve needed a physical for an activity.  They ended up both needing the tetanus shot and I went ahead and got them the flu shot as well.  Bobby and I also got the flu shot.  After Genevieve got her shots, she got majorly pale and nearly passed out.  We had to lay her down with a cool cloth for about ten minutes. 

Bobby had seen us all get shots without crying and we told him he'd get a lollipop if he was brave for his shot.  So he laid right down and was talking about his lollipop when she gave him his shot and he started screaming like he'd been completely betrayed.  We sat him up and she handed him the lolli and his crying instantly changed to laughing without missing a beat.  Genna had been laying down next to him and she asked if he was crying or laughing because the transition was so seamless it was hard to tell without looking at his face.  I wish I'd captured that on video.
