H1N1 vaccine

To our surprise our pedi decided to get some H1N1 vaccine for some of his high risk patients. So, today we took Autumn in to get her first dose of the vaccine and to get bloodwork done for her. Once again the nurse had a hard time hitting her vein. Apparently, Autumn only has ONE good vein and it's located on her left arm but she was already bruised in that spot from her IV on Saturday so the nurse tried the other arm first. No go so she went back to the good spot and finally got it. Autumn really makes it easy on me though because she's such a great patient. She just sits there and let's them poke away. She did cry for a second (until I plugged her up with the paci) when the nurse was searching deep for it but other than that she's a champ. So, it really makes me wonder if she can feel deep pain in her thighs or not...because if she does not cry for IV's or bloodwork than maybe she has such a great pain tolerance that she actually does feel the shots but does not cry...she does flinch her leg when given shots so just maybe she does feel them. ;)

So, we will be heading off to Dallas on Sunday to get set for her surgery on Tuesday. Please pray for travel safety and of course Autumn's surgery.
