Well, our little one got his first set of shots today...I was so not looking forward to that. (And just as a side note, I respect the decision of those parents who choose not to vax, I don't judge, so please don't blast this). He has already had a rough week or so since he was sick last week and needed an IV and lots of ultrasounds at the hospital...and then we take him to the doctor and he gets poked more. His little face and the cry was a heart breaking moment. But, I am not so worried about having him around people now.
I didn't know that they now do a vaccine for Rota Virus, but I am super happy about it. I remember my little brother being hospitalized with Rota Virus and it was so hard for him to bounce back from it. Our doctor said that it has almost made his "diarrhea business" disappear, which is very, very good news for us moms.
Now after the vaccines he is sleeping like a...well...baby. He just wakes to eat and get a diaper change, and then drifts off to sleep again. If he is still super sleepy tomorrow, I may call the doctor, but for today, I think he is just trying to process what a tough day it was.
So, though I feel a bit of guilt over letting them stick my little boy, I feel like I am doing the best thing for him. That is all that can be asked of mothers, right?
