It's that LOVELY time of the year again!!! So last Friday, Mark heard on the radio that their was a real run on the flu shots here in town so we decided we better go and fight the crowds so that we all got one before they run out this year. Thank goodness for CVS Minute Clinic.. they had shots for all of us. ( Our family practice Dr. and the Pediatrician were out till the following week!) After three different trips ( why are the schools around here on such different schedules?) to the clinic and over three hours of waiting - we all are finally covered. I Hope!!! Tate had a fever from the shot on Friday night and on Sunday Reese starting getting sick. It hasn't been that bad, but she is still sick 5 days later. I'm not sure whether she got the Flu from the shot or more likely, she got the flu from germs in the clinic while we waited to get the darn flu shot! Thankfully... I am sure she is on the mend and hopefully will be feeling much better soon. In the meantime, we hope that we do not get the regular Flu until these shots kick into our systems. It takes a few weeks.. oh joy. And then there's swine flu - oh that's another story!!!! It's all over the place here!!!! Many, many kids at the school have it! I guess in the end - the best coverage does not come from any shot - but from the many blessings that our Heavenly Father gives each one of us on a daily basis. I pray every day that we will stay healthy and protected from the many viruses that are around right now... I have faith.. and a whole lot of antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer!!!
