When I took Kiera and Lydia in for their well-child checks today they were both moderately sick already. They had temps of 99 and 100.
After waiting in the doctors office for 90 minutes I was going crazy. I'd pulled out every game/song and trick to entertain 2 sick girls. We were pretending the floor was a river with an alligator in it when the nurse finally came in to give the shots.
Woe is Kiera: Finger prick and 1 shot.
Woe is Lydia: Finger prick and 4 shots
Woe is Kiera: Vomiting in the garbage can while Lydia is getting her shots
Woe is me: Running back and forth between screaming Lydia and vomiting Kiera.
After it was done Kiera was very noticeably white as a ghost. We sat in the waiting room for 10 minutes trying to get some color back in her face before we walked out to the car.
Luckily I had asked for a bag just in case. Good thing too because Kiera vomited again on the car ride home (luckily she got it mostly in the bag). All the while Lydia is wailing "hurt! Owies! Leg! Hurt!"
Poor little ladies and poor me.

Poor little ladies is right! I'm sorry for all of you. It's not fun to read of these woes. I hope tomorrow is a better day for everyone.
I am surprised that the Dr would give shots while they were sick. They never used to.
So not fun! I am sorry for my 3 ladies! Give em kisses from me!
Sad! When it rains, it pours. Seriously. Poor all of you! Hope they feel better!
I'm surprised they gave the shots if she was puking too. I'm sorry. That sounds like an absolutely miserable trip. I'm taking my girls in a week for their flu shot and immunizations. I hope my experience is better than yours!
