What are you waiting for?
So today was a bit interesting, I was going into work late because of a doctor's appointment, on my way to work I get a phone call from the nurse at my 5 year old's school. Today was the day that they were receiving the H1N1 vaccine. Apparently he vomited about 20 minutes after receiving the shot, they took him to the nurse's office and had the EMT's check him out. They said all his vitals were normal but he was still feeling queasy and was very pale. They were clearing him to leave but they wanted him to get checked out at either his doctor's or at the hospital today.
I turned around and floored it to get there, made a couple quick phone calls, dr's office, tried to reach my mom, called work - while I'm waiting for my boss to pick up the call the school nurse calls back. His throat was itchy and the EMTs were worried that he was having an allergic reaction and wanted to take him to the hospital. I was only about 2 mins away and when I got to the clinic they had him on a gurney hooked to a heart monitor and he was white as a ghost. He really looked pathetic laying there.
Big kiss, hug, and I start joking around with him cause he really looks scared to death. I rode over in the ambulance with him, and by the time we get to the hospital (maybe a 5 minute ride) he's almost back to his normal olivish complextion. Soon as I get him in the room and playing tic tac toe with me he's acting like himself, feeling waaaay perkier.
Doc says he probably just got a little swoony and nauseous after the shot. I'm betting he was a bit nervous about getting the shot without me there (we discussed it last night and this morning), so he was a bit worked up, got sick and then when everyone freaked out he got even more scared and worked up.
Anyways... now he's running around wearing his Captain Rex outfit and flying paper airplanes. I told him next time he wants a day off from school we don't have to involve the EMTs!
