shot through the heart

brette got three shots

in her little legs yesterday.

i thought it was going to be worse on

me than her,

but truthfully, i think she hated it just as much.

 

it was one of those instant cries

where her face turns red and no

sound comes out because she is losing it.

i told her to breathe, which was a mistake,

because then she started screaming.

literally screaming, not crying.

it was high pitched and crazy. 

its definitely a different sound when

a child is in pain.

then came the crying.

when we got home i let her take a nap on me.

it lasted over two hours - which is huge for her

and gave me some uninterrupted snuggle time and computer time.
(as pictured below)

then daddy brought home some tylenol
and we actually had a good night.
i think the marathon nap plus the meds helped a lot.
today, she was a little fussy and running a slight temp.
 i gave her another dose of tylenol
and things seem to be on the mend.

 

 

i'm glad we don't have to do that again until october.

 

what did i do with all that time on the computer?

(besides blogging and checking facebook) i joined

parents as teachers and registered my family at the

catholic church so we can move forward with B's baptism.

 

 

more on both those things later.
