immunizations

since we changed insurance, we also had to change andrew's doctor. He had his check-up yesterday, the doctor said he's doing well, he's a bit above average then other 5 month babies and as usual i was given the speech on how to keep andrew's skin moisturize so it won't be so dry, and i do do that everytime! The doctor then recommended a steroid base cream with hydrocortisone (anti-itch cream). I'm a little hesitant to use it because of the side effects since i already bought it and can't return it,i'll probably use it once a day instead of the twice a day advised by the doctor.
So before going for the check-up i told pj i need the medical records for andrew's injections and ofcourse my hubby said no, they'll just call them. Well, that didn't happen.I had to call his previous doctor and since they were out for lunch we had to wait, then his previous doc said she needed me to go over and authorize it so his recent doc spoke to his previous doc because he needs to be immunized.The previous doc agreed to fax the records, we got the records but there was only 1 shot listed on his records when he already had 2 sets. WHAT A DAY?!?!?...one of the nurses said, since the 2nd and 3rd set of shots are the same just go ahead and give it to him, so thats what they did.
I hate it when he has to get shots, i feel like crying with him. He got 3 injections in 1 day. Doctor advised me to give him some meds when we get home coz he might be sore. He was fine till about 1am when he was whimpering and he felt warm.My poor baby.
