Yesterday was shot day. We finally met Dr. Depalma in Evanston. She accepted Owen as a patient and was one of the keys to coming home. Owen had his six month check up and Abby needed her kindergarten shots. We spent all morning getting ready and getting Owen prepared for the trip. At the appointment, Abby got four shots, and Owen got three. Abby was tough and took hers pretty well. Owen on the other hand was mad from the first shot through the third. Dr Depalma showed us a back door that we could use in future visits to avoid the waiting room. She seemed really good and the older kids enjoyed her. I had to take wal marts favorite shopper to the store, Gayle had not been there since we moved home. I stayed in the car with Owen. The trip home was not as peace full as the trip up. I think the day was catching up with Owen. We got him back to his bed and he pretty much slept the rest of the afternoon. Last night we were having problems with his sats staying up. I did the cough assist and it seemed like he was still upset. So around midnight I hooked up some oxygen to the vent. It is the first time he has needed oxygen since the hospital. I am hoping that it is from the shots and we can get back to normal. I even passed the comment to Gayle about skipping the immunizations and got shot down. Abby got a my little pony set and was fine. Too bad we couldn't bribe Owen with the same thing and have him be fine.
Owen, the minute he hit his pillow!
