We had to get Lacey all caught up on her immunization from being away. While we were in the Caribbean we did a couple of the 12 months shots in St Maarten, but they didn't offer one of the 12 month shots. We were following the Alberta immunization schedule and the Caribbean immunization schedule was different so they didn't offer the same shots. We also weren't overly happy with the nurse who did the shots at the clinic we were at. I know seeing your kids get shots aren't the easiest but the nurse had a very cold personality and wasn't very friendly. After that experience we just planned to get Lacey all caught up with her 12 month and 18 month shots when we got back to Canada. As we have always been happy with the nurses at the health unit here in Lethbridge.
We got back in December, when I called to make our appointments they were booking into February so thats when we scheduled Lacey in. She was 29 months when she got all her shots, she is now all caught up. Lacey did pretty good, well there was a lot of screaming and fighting trying to get aways from me while I was holding her as the nurse gave her, her shots. She did settle down right after as we were going to go get a treat for getting her shots. Lacey choose a cute TY pink owl. I wanted this to be a good experience to remember. She seemed pretty happy she got an owl for her owies. Lacey had to get three shots this time around but since she was squirming so much the nurse got the needle in but didn't get the drug in so she had to get an extra poke. She was only fussy/ irritable for the next two days. Lincoln was a bit put out that he didn't get a toy so he's been asking if he could get needles too. So we booked him for his 4-6yr old immunization on March 10th so we can go get him a toy afterwards.
