Shots

So today Briggs had to go for his 4 year check up. We got to the doctor's office (which we had never been to) where we had to park in a parking garage (I had no cash) at 12:30. We FINALLY left the office at 3:30. It was a LONG day to say the least. There were tons of people in there (many were sick) and we had to wait for the doctor to fax Easley Peds to get his records transfered. Which, by the way, they are still not transfered. For some reason the fax machines on both ends did not work. So anyway, those two things together contributed to our 3 hours there. Briggs was, well, Briggs, and he didn't want to talk to the nurse or doctor or do what they asked of him. That part went okay despite that. Next came the shots - 5 of them!! That part was awful, awful, awful. I had to lay across him and hold him down, and he screamed a scream I've never heard from him before. He cried for an hour afterwards. Once the Tylenol set in, he was fine, but I'm telling you, if any of you have 4 year olds that have to go in for their check ups, prepare yourself. It is brutal! At least as babies they don't really know what's happening to them. As a 4 year old, they certainly do! I hope we do not have to endure that again for a long, long time!
