The school district now requires all incoming 7
th graders to have a
TDap booster shot before the school year. Taylor was also due for the Meningitis vaccine so I scheduled both for today and she has been FREAKING OUT ever since I made the appointment. She hasn't had shots since 2004 and the fear of the unknown was almost more than she could handle. She kept asking me to pinch just the way it would feel, but I kept reassuring her she would be just fine. Allison thought the whole thing was hysterical since she has endured multiple shots, IVs and 2 surgeries in the last few years!
She was pretty quiet sitting in the waiting room, but once inside the nurse was so sweet and asked her lots of soccer questions to take her mind off of it.
Within seconds the nurse was putting the first
bandaid on and the look on Taylor's face was priceless..."That was it? I didn't even feel it!" See all that worry for nothing. She did great with the 2
nd as well and other than a little tenderness in her shoulders tonight, she is doing just fine!
