Do-Over!

Immunizations: We waited until last week, when baby was almost 19 months old, to start immunizations. Partly intentionally and partly because when we were going to get them started at 9 months he had a cold and a rash and they wanted to give him some new shots I didn't know anything about. We finally took the plunge and he got DTaP and HIB. This felt risky after a family friend lost baby Michael after shots at 19 months. But we feel it is a good compromise.

So yesterday I get this call from my doctor's office. The shots got left out or became too warm or something. I'm not sure if it's the doctor's office or the manufacturer who did whatever it was. But the doc's office has checked with the manufacturer and it won't hurt my baby that the shots are bad, they just can't guarantee the efficacy and want to do them again! What if they ARE still effective? HUH? This sounds dangerous to me.

Adenoids: Elisabeth had her tonsils and adenoids out when she was three. Shouldn't that be the end of that? I guess not. Adenoids can grow back. Elisabeth's are big. She's going to stay on some medicine and we will hope they shrink. In the meantime, she snores like a big guy and sounds like her nose is plugged.

She talks in some kind of girly talk anyway. Now she sounds like a cartoon character. Is she the only 7 year old who does this? Or have you noticed that it is almost like a secret pact between girls around this age?

YOU? What have you had to repeat lately?
