Maybe the girls have good reason not to like getting shots, other than the obvious poking! Makayla's arm swelled up like crazy....the next day it was worse...I called the nurse and I had to take her to Children's. She had a mild allergic reaction to one of her shots...hives...swelling...severe redness..and it was really hot! I would provide pictures..but I don't have time..must go paint!!! maybe I'll have time for pictures tomorrow. So..if your kid gets a shot..and they complain and complain about it itching really bad....take a min. to look at it..don't wait 24 hrs. like I did and tell them to "suck it up." Oops! My mommy skills were not honed in very well apparently! lesson learned....Crisis averted!

Poor Mak. What a mean mommy!! :) Kidding. Good to know. We have some over due shots in our near future.
Hey Jenny, Sorry about the late post! I have been a little side-tracked lately. I'm sorry to hear of the allergic reaction, make sure you find out if it was a preservative or the actual dead virus, or whatever that caused her reaction. That way they can prevent further reactions in the future. I'm glad they are both doing fine now!! :) I love the pics of you all in the park, what a great job Kerri did! Oh, and your hair looks amazing, so long and silky, you look really pretty. (Except for the googley eye photo) Just kidding, you even look good in that one :) That is hysterical that Kerri can do that with photo shop or whatever. You are a good sport to put it up, it gives us all a laugh. You were cracking me up with your "Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde" comment. I think only a mother could truly appreciate that! :) Talk to you soon, hope you are all doing well.
Love, Jacquie <><
Glad to hear poor little Mak is feeling better despite all she's gone through!
p.s. Good luck trying to get both girls back to the doctor for their NEXT set of shots... whenever that is.
Hi Jenny, I just saw your comment on my blog. My husband is a pastor too. Well, actually now we are church planters. Yikes! Feel free to send me an e-mail and we can try and hook up. That would be great. mollychupik@hotmail.com
I have been to your church before, it's been a few years though and it was just a visit. Hope to meet up with you, Molly
