Carrie’s 2 year checkup was today, and she’s doing great! We were supposed to get a flu shot today, but for some reason the doctor said they were only giving flu shots to their 6 to 24 month patients. Um, OK, her birthday was yesterday and we were scheduled to get it today six weeks ago! For that, and various other things we’ve been unhappy with for the past two years, we’re switching to another pediatric practice as soon as possible.
I had to take her to get a finger stick lead test, and Carrie didn’t cry at all. She actually seemed fascinated by the whole process, and was thrilled to get a sticker afterwards. Then I was driving home and I hear from the back seat “red all over, mommy!” I pulled over in a parking lot and she’d removed the band-aid and poked at her finger until it started bleeding again. Sigh. Have I mentioned that blood is not one of those things I do too well at? But I managed to keep it together and get the first aid kit out, wipe her up, and stick another band-aid on her. Luckily she kept it on the rest of the way home!
