It's that time again. Got DS' flu shot yesterday afternoon. There are a few cases of influenza at nursing homes in our area already, which makes me a little nervous.

Injectable will be at our ped any time now for Emily. Tim will be getting his (mist) today, Shawn next week, at their yearly checkups. They now say he has asthma, so I suppose they will make him get an injectable too, though he's done fine with the mist for years now. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> Maybe it will be there by next week.

We did have lots of drama and he yelled "bathroom", so thought he was going to pee (or worse) on me. Then later on the way into the gymnastics building he dramatically dragged his leg behind him.

ROFLOL!!! He cracks me up. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

They always give Emily a choice between arm and leg ...her arm the last few yrs has been so scrawny it looks like the needle will come out the other side, lol... She deliberates over the choice like she's choosing her method of execution, but always goes for arm.

Kind of surprised they would give anyone in your household the mist since it is live, especially before your daughter gets her shot and it kicks in. I am not really sure on the risk with this, but it just surprised me.

Last year they did because of how limited the supply of the injectable was. If I kicked up a fuss about it they probably wouldn't have but I felt the risk was minimal and wanted the injectables to go to the high-risk kids that needed them most given the shortages. My daughter got hers probably a month before the boys got their mist. I'll clarify the timing with the ped today, though, and make sure he's aware that my dd hasn't gotten hers yet. He's not the same dr in the practice that follows my daughter & may not know; he may choose to wait on my sons till she's had hers.

Our sons doctors made a big point that none of us take a mist...Told us Johnny could not be around anyone for seven days after they got theirs flu shot in the mist form. Grandparents like the mist better, so we avoid them for a week.
