Ava's medical exam and vaccinations were this morning. Our coordinator Emma rocks!! She met us as the hotel, took us to get our pictures (for the medical registration and for the visas later) and had us at the clinic before 9:00. Everything was within about a block of our hotel, and we were the first in line! By the time we were finished, the place was packed. We are so glad we were there early. We had everything done before 10:00.
Ava does NOT like anyone to touch her. She screamed her head off when the doctor tried to measure her head, listen to her heart, or look in her ears. She barely tolerated the nurses measuring her height and weight. Only one parent was allowed to go into the vaccination room for her 5 shots. Daddy bravely volunteered. We agreed that would be best since her attachment to me is going so well, and we didn't want to mess up a good thing! :) When it was all over, she was totally fine, like nothing ever happened.
Awww... The trips to the doctors office are never fun. My daughter was the same way and cried every time the doc or nurse touched her. I don't know who was more happy when our appts came to an end.....her or me:)
ReplyDeleteSo glad that she rebounded quickly....she is just so precious.
Enjoy your time on the island!
