Melissa in Australia Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Took twins in to the doctor for their 4 year old immunization. IT. WAS. TRAUMATIC. I did the whole explaining thing, plus had a special treat ( chocolate coated muesli bar). I told them that it will hurt a bit, but I know they will be brave and not scream. Twin 1 was first. I could not hold him down firm enough. I tried my best and had him firmly pinned with my arm down his side while my other hand held his head against my chest, but as soon as the needle touched him he want berserk, the Dr jabbed him 3 times in the one arm before administering the dose. then he did the other side and jabbed him twice. By this time twin 2 was weeping and saying over and over they are hurting my brother. the DR then went and got a nurse to assist in holding twin 2 down for his needles. She did not know what to expect and didn't do any better then me. He got 2 jabs in the arm before getting the vaccine. on the other side she was more prepared and used all her upper body weight to push him into my chest. She told me afterwards he will probably have bruises on his arm from the amount of force she needed to use to hold him down. The doctor was visibly shaken afterwards. he was a younger DR, and I don't think he had come across this level of traumatized children before. both twins were the most sorrowful boys you have ever seen for the rest of the day. :sad: :sad: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Melissa, :grouphug: . My kids' worst medical experiences were the ones where they were ordered to be "held down." It's scary! I hope it will be a long time before your twins need any more shots. :( 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I am hoping that I will be left mostly alone today, but it's not looking good so far. :/ I must try to appear super productive so people won't be on my back. The construction inspection is supposed to be tomorrow afterrnoon, so I assume they will be doing various touch- ups and invade my bedroom/office to finish fixing the mess they made. Get kids up & out to school bus. [done] Clean kitchen and bathroom. [done] Work. Deal with construction guys. Try to fit in laundry if I get the house to myself. Kids' work. Kids to swim. Walk / work during swim. Dinner somewhere. Kids to gymnastics. Run to grocery store during gymnastics. Kids to bed. Work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I got the van back and realize I left our garage door opener in the rental car. Thankfully the woman there found it and will hold it for me. I just don't think I can get back over there until later this week. I picked up my non-dairy "dairy" products I couldn't get at Kroger yesterday. Kroger doesn't carry my favorite creamer anymore, and the yogurt I like is so much more expensive there. The same product costs over $1 less at the Kroger near my in-laws in Ohio. It's crazy! I'm going to hold off on going to the bank until tomorrow when I'll be out near it anyway. The van was in another town in the opposite direction. I got ds' school plan made for the whole week. He's working on a Scholastic magazine article/activity now. I sent the final reminder email about book club and what the kids should bring with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 SKL, hoping you can keep people from bothering you today! Thanks! It seems I will be free of my work boss and houseguest from 10:30 to 3:30, which is better than nothing. The construction guys are here throughout that time, but I have my room door locked so at least they will have to knock to get in here. ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I managed to put in a load of laundry, yay! Hopefully I will get a second load through also. Now I am debating lying down for a few minutes. Hmmm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tess in the Burbs Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 well, yesterday we decided to get a lot of chores done even though it was Sunday. The entire house was cleaned except one bathroom, which will be done tomorrow. My mom/stepdad arrive Wed morning for a week long visit. Today is about getting school done and keeping the house clean ;-) We also need to get to the library today before ds heads to his scout meeting.

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 1 load of laundry in washing machine kitchen cleaned pharmacy done pet store done grocery store done bank done Despite having it on two to-do lists, I totally forgot to drive into the big city for my shots and new vials of meds. It's 4 pm - rush hour traffic. I won't make it there before 5 and they will then be closed so there is no point in even trying to go now. I guess I'll have to move it to Wed. I think I have enough meds to dh to give me my shots today. Not that I really want my shots . . . . OK - I just looked up the shot hours and they ended at 4 pm anyway. . . so really not meant to be today I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
