Friday morning I went back to GRH to get my first round of immunizations
(2 needles). Mommy had begged my pediatrician to let me get immunized
at the hospital instead of going to the family doctor.
Mommy and
Grandma P. dressed me in sunglasses so I was 'incognito'. Mommy stayed
in the room and was asked to hold my arms down while my two nurses, yes I
already have my regular nurses (Laurie and Patty) needled me in both
legs, so they wouldn't have to needle me two separate times. I was
pretty good and only cried for a bit. We stayed an hour and a half
later to see if I would have an allergic reaction. I didn't so we were
good to go. I was a little fussy that night and mommy said I felt a
little warm. Turns out my temperature was a little higher than normal
(37.7).
I got ready for Saturday and put my best party face
on. There were a lot of people coming to see me. Yvette and Paula came
first, they brought mommy and daddy Swiss Chalet for lunch and an apple
pie. In came my uncle Jan, who was going to make us homemade burgers
for dinner! My aunt Jackie, uncle Bob, big brother Greg, bigger brother
Sam and auntie Katarina joined us. They brought pie, cupcakes and
salad for our festivities. I also received a robe I can wear when I
become a big boy and a hippo rattle from Katarina. New exercise clothes
from Jackie, Bob and the boys. In addition on Thursday my uncle Brian
had dropped off an elephant rattle to help me with my arm exercises.
The
day went well and everyone was really nice to me! I got to spend a lot
of time with people other than my parents and I wasn't scared at all!
I
still have a bit of a temperature so we'll keep up with the Tylenol.
We go to MacMaster on Monday for my first clinic checkup with Dr.
Tarnopolsky. He may have some results ready, but we are doubtful as he
had told us 6 weeks from when we left Mac.
I still haven't seen
my OT, due to the blood fiasco, but the appointment is scheduled this
week. I am putting my hands together to my chest and near my mouth, so
that part is completed! I still hate tummy time and can't lift my head
yet.
