I called the doctor’s office today to check on what we were suppose to do about Madie’s icky nose (It is still gross and goopy after 11 days.). In the process of my conversation about Madie, I asked if they had received any more of the injectable H1N1 vaccines for Ben. It has been a stressful couple of weeks waiting for the shipment to arrive. The doctor’s office had some left that they were hording for special needs patients. And yeah!!! they declared Ben was such a patient. They asked if we could come in immediately to get it. I said yes, picked Ben up from school, and took him straight into the clinic. Ben received a vaccine and Ainsley was able to get the Flumist for H1N1. It was a good day! What a relief for me. I have been frantically waiting for our doctor to get some. I was beginning to think that I was going to have to stand in line at one of the county shot clinics to get one for Ben. Thank God for Dr. Purcell’s office!
Ben was terribly nervous about getting one. He cried and as soon as it was over (and was still whimpering) he said that he was just fake crying and that he was really fine. He totally “manned up.” He is so awesome! I love him! And as per the Lake family tradition (only established after we moved to Conroe) we stopped at McDonalds on the way home to get ice cream for everyone. It was a good day!
