Pearls before swine 2 days ago

We managed to get the first H1N1 shot slot of the day. I was fortunate enough to piggyback on Isak’s appointment and get one myself, but unfortunately the file clerk was out with the flu so it took a while to find our charts.

I brought along matching spongebob squarepants band-aids and a hotwheels car for needle time, and Isak had brave new red shoes on. There was a quick yelp and a few tears from him, but he braved it out & understood that it’s to help keep him safe and well.

I didn’t find it painful at the time but like everyone else has said, later it’s like being punched in the arm. I’m very glad it’s over with and I’m checking this off because we’re doing all we can do. Pass the hand sanitizer?
