Doctor's visit -- not so routine

Alex and Aiden turned 16 months old today!!! We went to the doctor this morning to get the second half of their flu shot. They started screaming as soon as we walked to the back. I guess they are remembering those people in white (nurses and doctors). They have been taking shots every other week the past couple of months -- no wonder they are screaming. Well, they lucked out today (in a way). Aiden woke up with a runny nose so we asked for the dr to check them first, and really mostly because of their wheezing recently. Both had a fever and red throat. Aiden's also has the bad nose which would indicate a sinus infection. SO, no shots today. They are on antibiotics and a decongestant. We go back on Monday to see that the antibiotic is working. If so, they can have their shots then; if not, a new antibiotic.

It sounds aweful to say, but the boys were so cute at how they were scared. They would not let us put them down. When the dr came in to check Aiden, he was screaming and Alex's chin was quivering, like he knew he was next. Aiden was staring him down as he was writing in their charts. Poor things, hopefully they will not be seeing as much of doctors in the upcoming months.
