Bring it on, rabies!

We finally finished our round of required immunizations for China.  Hep A, B, Japanese Encephalitis, Rabies...  Not that we're going to be encountering rabid creatures on a regular basis in Shenyang, but might as well if we're going to be in China and most likely travelling around in Asia.

The Japanese Encephalitis was a series of 2 shots and Rabies was a series of 3.  We were at the FSI clinic a lot this month, especially since J was a week behind all of us. (The first time we went, he was sick with a fever so we held off on him for a week.)  J and K took the shots like champs.  J all but forgot the shots as soon as we got him a "Patient of the Day" sticker afterwards.  K was mostly upset for the parts that I had to put her down.  NJ, however, screamed so loud and so much before he was even stuck.  I guess at age 6, a lot of it is mental.

I'm not crazy about getting shots either, but I just remind myself that I pushed out 3 babies with no meds.  I can do this!  Stop being a weenie!
