shots, shots, and more shots

On Monday we went to Kaitlyn's 5 year well child check up.
She is practically perfect in every way. Her brain power is off the charts and she is perfectly proportioned in weight and height. Like I said practically perfect in every way.
At her well child check up she got the last of her early childhood vaccinations. She got the last of the polio series, the last of the chickenpox series, and the last of the diphtheria, tetanus, & pertussis series. All of us girls also got our seasonal flu shot. So poor Katie bug got 4 shots, while Sam and I just got 1.
I also asked our Dr if the flu bug we had was the H1N1 flu bug. He asked several questions and said that more than likely we most certainly did. I then asked "if we had swine flu, do we need the swine flu shot?" He said that since we did a good job of managing our symptoms at home and did the right thing by not leaving the house, we also didn't confirm with a test that we had H1N1. Without confirmation he couldn't officially say we didn't need the shot. But that if he were us he wouldn't get it, none of the regular flu bugs going around had a fever for 6+ days.
So we were terribly sick, we most likely had the swine flu, and my children screamed for joy that they didn't have another shot to get!
Life is good folks and don't forget to stockpile the Mucinex at home!
