Flu Shots

So, about a month ago, Dan made an appointment for Noah to get his flu shot at his primary care doc. They said the soonest they could get him in was October 22. Fine, not real happy about it, but fine.

Last week, they called to tell us they ran out.

Are you f*&%ing kidding me? My son has a history of respiratory issues, we made the appointment a month ago, and you are OUT? I was livid.

Luckily, Noah is a patient at the resporatory research hospital near us, so I called them yesterday and they can get him in for the shot on Monday! All's well that ends well. Next will be getting him in for H1N1. I wasn't sure if I was going to have him get it, but a former student from my previous school (who I didn't know) died from H1N1 last week. She had a history of major asthma related issues. Noah's aren't as severe as hers, but given that he has had the same type of issues, I am going to have him get it.

Noah's Visit to Dr. B

Dr. B is Noah's asthma doctor at National Jewish Hopsital. His last name is something like Bogdaniewiczqixmthduwkwofgfj, so he just has all the kids call him Dr. B. Works for me! Anyway, the wait was really long but Dr. B is always worth it. He is so great with Noah and he is one of the best asthma pediatricians in the world.

Truly.

I am not kidding, it's not just my opinion.

Anyway, Noah is doing great. He gave us a prescription for Pulmicort, but we're not supposed to use it again unless Noah has respiratory issues. YAY!
