INJECTIONS

Our poor little spud didn't have a very good day on Wednesday....it was yet again time for her immunisations.

Again this time it was 3 needles giving her immunity from polio, heb B etc.

The nurse said that this needles may be a bit worse for her as she has grown up more of an immune system so they don't like it as much & can get more grizzly than the last 2 times.

She had 1 in her right thigh & 2 in her left & boy did she scream!!!!

She just looked at me as if to say "what just happened?!?!"

She slept most of the afternoon & was pretty much back to her normal self the next day so she handled them really well.

For 4 days after i have to monitor & take her temperature, write down how her wounds are & how cranky she was so the nurses can see how every baby is going.

That night when i had a look at where the needles went in i noticed that she had huge holes where they went in. The last two times they were only a bit red but this time she had gaping holes....no wonder she screamed i think i would have doen as well. They closed up after a day & the swelling went down so now she is just fine!

She doesn't have to have any more needles until about 6 weeks after her first birthday which is great, she can relax a little now...& so can i!!

I have put a couple of photos in from straight after (aren't i a mean mum, taking pics when she is in pain ;) ) & you can see where that bandages are.
