What a brave boy!!
But what a horrible afternoon. Left work early and met daddy and Jamie. A friend had suggested giving Jamie Calpol before the injection so daddy had given him two spoonfuls before leaving the house.
It wasn't one injection but two - one in each arm (MMR (L) and DTap/IPV (R) - it says here).
Jamie spotted the needle just as the nurse was going to put it into his arm. This meant he flinched and she ended up scratching him. She then had to actually inject him, and then do the other arm. He wanted a plaster for the scratch, but would not have a plaster for the second injection.
There is nothing worse than seeing your child in distress. I hated every minute of it and was glad daddy had come along so he could hold Jamie tight. I tried not to look as distressed as I was - at least for Jamie's sake and was so glad once it was over.
We all needed a boost after all that, so drove to McDonalds for a Happy Meal. Trouble was Jamie was asleep before we got home. Must have been all that Calpol!
We put him to bed just after 5pm. Mummy got into bed with him and caught up with some reading. After such a stressful day it was nice to have some 'me' time. Jamie did wake up later asking for mummy and daddy and his Happy Meal!! Lots of cuddles for everyone.....
