Taking Care of Business: shots and checkups

I love our pediatrician. Her name is doctor Clemmens at Southlake pediatrics. She is truly amazing.  In addition to her kindness and thorough examinations of our children and her helpful advice about life in general, she is very patient with our vax schedule. See we selectively vaccinate. We’re not against vaccinations (I had to put that out there before I have to hear about it *smile*) we just want to do it on our own schedule at our own pace. 

With much anguish (and staying up until 2am researching vaccines some more) I decided to change/expedite Nathaniel’s vaccination schedule. I am well aware that there are diseases in developing countries such as Jamaica that we don't have to battle here in the US so today we begin our new vaccination schedule in the preparation of our Fulbright trip.  Next step is to get the older kids vax schedule updated.

Nay received one shot in his little thigh and  I don't know why I was even worried… he didn't even shed a tear!

Now we all just have to get past the 8 page medical clearance that Fulbright requires.
