Drew took Rachel to get her second dose of seasonal flu shot yesterday, followed by the oh-so-precious H1N1 shot. If I can editorialize a bit here: If you have the chance to get your kid an H1N1 shot, DO IT!! Two friends of mine have had kids who've gotten swine flu and it is NO FUN. I would do anything to avoid exposing Rachel to it.
Anyhow: Drew also was able to get an H1N1 shot because of his "chronic condition" -- i.e., asthma -- which puts him at greater risk. He said that as soon as Rachel saw him get his shot, she started crying.
"I couldn't tell whether she was crying out of compassion for me, or because she knew she was next," he told me.
Bottom line: Rachel recovered quickly and ended up playing with two adorable little girls in the play area of the pediatrics department. By the time I got home from Shabbat services last night, she was her usual cheerful, giggly self.
