Asher's 1 Year Checkup
Daddy took Asher to the Dr this afternoon for his 1 year checkup. He checked out healthy and has grown a lot. He is measuring 30" long and weighs 20 1/2 pounds. He did have a bad experience with his shots however. The nurse wasn't very gentle with him, to the point where Stephen called the Doctor after they left and made a complaint. One of the vaccines didn't get all the way into his system, apparently about half of it ran down his leg. Come to find out it was the live virus for his MMR (Measles, Mumps & Rubella) vaccine. So, we can't have a "do-over". Asher will get this one again around 4-5 years in a booster. The nurse was put on probation and IF she is still there when we take him for his 18 month checkup the Dr told us to remind him to get another nurse to do Asher's shots. What an ordeal. They came by my office when they were done and I got to see Asher for a few minutes. He was very sleepy and I told Stephen that he will most likely sleep a lot this evening. Fun stuff! That's all for now.
