I hate pedi appts with shots

My poor Sydney.  Two shots and that rotavirus drink.  She howled like I've never heard her before.  It was actually a scream.  Ashlyn never made that noise.  I actually panicked.

Then the doc decides to tell me that in the last month they've "lost" two babies due to a really bad bacteria going around, so keep my kids inside.  No playgroups or playgrounds if I can help it she said.  And here I am in the doctor's office-the most germiest place of all.....besides Walmart.....

    Yep, he's home!!!  We're all so excited.  And it's looking like he doesn't have to go back either!  Thank God for that!!!

    I'm sorry Sum! I'm sure you're kiddies will be just fine. That's one of the extra perks of bf'ing... your DD gets tons of vitamins and antibodies from your milk. =)

    "lost" two babies?! How devastating - I appreciate the need for the Pedi to advise you about a really dangerous bacteria - but I'm not so sure he needed to mention the deaths . . . I guess you may as well know the truth - but how frightening.

    Oops, but yeah I agree...seems odd.  And you are really not allowed to take them anywhere?  Weird!  But I guess if kids died...

    Anyway, POOR Syd!  Although bet you are more traumitized than she is now.

    That second paragraph is really bothering me. I would probably be having regular panic attacks if my pedi said that to me. I understand his warning, but there has got to be a better way to get that message across.

    My insurance won't cover the pentatec or whatever it's called. So she got FOUR shots plus rotavirus. She was not pleased.

    After DS got and shared RSV from the pedis office, I don't want to go anywhere.
