...why I hated giving shots to 4-year-olds when I worked at HFHC (my previous job, where I still take Daniel for his checkups etc). It wasn't fun for either one of us. He got the flu, DTaP, IPV, and MMR. The MMR she saved for last - which is the golden rule of vaccinating kids. If you give the MMR anything but last, the kid won't let you anywhere near him for the rest of the shots. It hurts like a mofo.
I much prefer to give them to the newborns, although I really think vaxing newborns is over the top in most cases.
All else is well, according to his PNP. 50-75th percentile for height, 75th percentile for weight, and 50-75th percentile for BMI. Eyes good, but he didn't really cooperate for the hearing screen.
Also, falling under the category of 'Crap!' news, the lab tech that works there is a good friend of mine although we have pretty sporadic contact. Anyway, her son is in Afghanistan w/ the Army. He spent his summers between years at college working at the clinic interpreting and helping hold unruly kids for shots. Super-good kid. Well, not really a kid - I think he's 24 or so. Anyway, if you could remember Carlos in your prayers, we would all appreciate it. He says guys there are stretched way too thin and all want to come home.
