Jolene has had a very crazy couple of months. One week she's healthy, and the next she's got pink eye AND an ear infection. This month, we found out she had double pink eye, double ear infection and a sinus infection. After failed attempts at medicine at home with no sign of improvement, her doctor decided she needed antibiotic shots in the office. We had to take her in Monday, Wednesday and Friday for shots (a 3 round set). The first day, the nurse explained to me that they numb the leg because the antibiotic is so painful upon injection and that she might have the tingly sensation later in the day. Jolene hates shots (what child doesn't?) but was easily comforted with a sucker from the nurse. Day 2 of the shot was even easier. She hardly cried and almost immediately began playing in the exam room.



The last round of antibiotics though, she was miserable! ALL DAY! She held her leg and sobbed "owie owie owie" for hours on end. She fell asleep from exhaustion from screaming in the car on the way home. Nothing I did would comfort her, not even donuts! And that's saying a lot....
