A day at the doctor

Yesterday was doctor day for the Minor children. Luke had a normal checkup and as always for a toddler this means shots, including the flu shot. Austen was very excited because for some odd reason she loves helping the doctor and nurses torture her brother. This time she knew the appointment was for him and she was in the clear. Boy was she wrong. The doctor also felt it would be a good time to give Austen her flu shot. However, she did not tell Austen this until after she had just watched her brother endure four shots himself. When the nurse leaned and said "Austen's turn" she panicked. Screaming at the top of her lungs she ran for her escape. Tonya and the nurse held her down while she receive her shot. Luke and Austen screamed from the time after the shots to the checkout counter through the waiting room all the way to the car. I am not so sure she will be as excited to see her brother go to the doctor anymore.

Sounds just like our last visit for a little bro check up. I think Kirby is scared from his past few visits to the doctor. :)

Well, that is cause we told her she did not have to have any shots....I hope that she is not scarred by this lie that her parents told her. I will have to let her know that if she needs a safe place to stay,I am here for her:) We practiced in her room how she was going to support Lukie Luke when he got his shot.But, I would have to say that she can not be as scarred as my dear Kirby.. I am probably going to have to provide him with a safe place as well... Rachel, Good Lord that was terrible.....poor fellow..you know it is rough growing up isn't it..Love you all Angie
