Booster Shot for Keona

Last Wednesday, I brought Keona to her pediatrician for the booster of her immunizations. It's a booster for influenza and two other immunizations that I forget the names. Lil girl doesn't like using elevator so when we went to the 8th floor of the medical tower building using the lift, she hugged me tight and cried. When we got outside the elevator, she had this very huge voice, shouting in joy that at last we are out of the elevator. While waiting for our turn, she played at the hallway. But when we got inside Doctor Mike's clinic, she right away cried even before Doc had a physical check on her.

I'm happy that this is the last immunization that she has for this year. The next one will be when she reaches 2 years old. It's a booster for IPV or pneumococcal vaccine.

Chickenpox Vaccination

We visited Keona's pediatrician/nephrologist yesterday to have her scheduled chickenpox immunization. We waited for quite long since we are number 6 patient in a row. As usual, my little girl was very energetic and full of enthusiasm shouting, dancing, running in the 8th floor of the medical tower building. But when she saw her doctor upon entering the clinic, she started crying out very loud even before the vaccination is being administered to her. Doctor Mike even bribed her for a lollipop candy but failed. She continued crying. Doctor Mike said that it's good that we have her immunized since many are afflicted with the disease nowadays due to the hot weather.

It's been 3 months already since we have her urine culture and we are doing it again now. Hopefully, there will be no more bacteria so my little girl can stop taking her daily low dose of antibiotic as prophylaxis since it's been already six months after her operation. She also had her CBC to check her hemoglobin so we can shift to another brand of vitamins. Have a great day friends:)

MMR Vaccination

Keona's MMR Vaccine immunization is supposedly scheduled last week but due to her having stuffy nose and colds, it was postponed. We had her vaccination yesterday. Her pediatrician's clinic is Keona's most hated place in the world.LOL. Whenever we enter into the clinic, she would be glued to me and refused to be touched by anybody, especially Doctor Mike, her pediatrician. When MMR vaccine is being administered, she cried the loudest volume she could have. I pity her but she needs to be immunized with it given the many outbreak of measles in the country nowadays. MMR stands for measles, mumps, and rubella. If a child is immunized with MMR vaccine, then she'll be protected from these diseases.
