Well, the H1N1 vaccination clinic failed us. Our Dr. and another Dr. at the clinic highly suggested that we get Drake to this clinic for his H1N1 nasal mist. Even told Drake that it would be so much easier than a shot. Steve got there about 15 minutes after it started and they were already down to only about 100 left out of 500, but he got there and thought he would wait a while but at least he would get him one! And then they told him that children with asthma can't get the nasal mist. They have to get the shot. So he explained to her that 2 different Dr.'s sent us there and were very aware that it was the nasal mist clinic, but she just would not go for it. Stuck to her guns and referred him to the next shot clinic that is being held Saturday morning at 9:00am. 9:00am! I'm guessing if you want to be one of the recipiants you had better be there by 8:00-ish! Lovely! So in the mean time I have been cleansing my entire house! First with a Clorox wipe and then with Lysol spray. I mean EVERYTHING! All bedding has been washed in HOT water. Blankets are fresh. Toilets, countertops, floors, railings, door knobs...all so clean you could eat off of them. And so far Drake has unbelievably dodged our Swine Flu visitor!! Go figure! Gage is finally beginning to seem on the down side of this flu! He has been fever free since yesterday afternoon, and he is beginning to eat a little more. Maybe, just maybe we will be trick-or-treating afterall!! We will still steer clear of all human contact, but he can just hold his bag open and keep his mouth closed!

actually it's true.. the nasal mist is a live vaccine. it's more dangerous for him to get that one. he should get the shot.. it's a dead vaccine. i'm surprised that they would have referred you to that clinic, especially with his medical history!
That is what the nurse said!! Dr. Sojka and Dr. Blouse told us to take him there!! And both of them even commented on how much easier it would be than the shot since it was the nasal mist! Go figure! Oh well, I'm just glad we found out before gave it to him!
