WWYD - shot-related

in August 2011 Moms

Tomorrow, I have to take DS in to get the rest of his 1 year shots. We also go to a Bible study in the morning - DS is in a room with seven or eight other kids, all older than him (as far as I can tell). I can't skip tomorrow because I have to help out with the kids. I might be able to be in the same room as DS, but I don't know yet.

My plan is to get to the clinic for his shots when it opens, then go to the Bible study. He has never had a reaction to shots, except maybe needing an extra long nap.

The other option is to go right after the Bible study, but he would be pretty cranky and ready for lunch and a nap. We would likely have to wait since they would be short-staffed during lunch. I know DS will scream when he gets the shots, and I just imagine it being ten times worse if he's also hungry and tired.

Am I missing something obvious? Is there some reason that I should wait until after the Bible study?

    Honestly I think you should go about your day like normal. If he does end up having any side effects it wouldn't be until later in the day anyway. I do believe our pedi said Sophia would probably end up getting a fever but she was only slightly warm. She wasn't unusually cranky.

    I just realized I didn't answer your question. I would go first thing. If he ends up getting cranky the bible study could be a good distraction for him?

    Good point - distraction would be good. I'm just hoping he won't be too cranky.

    Agree, I would get it out of the way first thing in the morning.

    I wouldn't want to have to leave him after shots, so I would go after.  But I'm a big wimp and shots are more traumatic for me than him (probably), so I've even put them off until next week just so we could go at a time that I can stay home with him the whole next day, etc.  Yeah, I'm a wuss :)
