Approved....

for Synagis!!! (RSV shots)

I got a call from Los Ninos (the clinic we've gone to the past 2 years for Arianna's synagis shots) telling me we needed to schedule an appointment. I was excited but then asked her to double check that we were approved cause no one from the pediatricians office has even called me about this yet. She double checked and we were approved for 5 months!!!!

After the excitement wore off I felt really bad because this means Arianna will have to get 2 shots every month for 5 months and these shots hurt cause it's a thick serum. Then she gets an extra shot in December at her 2 year old check up. Oh well, it's better than a hospital stay with multiple blood draws, IV attempts, etc.

It's rarely heard of for a child over 2 years old to get approved for synagis so we are extremely blessed.

We go in November 10th for her first round of shots. I'm so happy her little lungs will be protected from nasty RSV this year. :)


And for your picture fix, here is a picture of Arianna watching Wubbzy on my computer.

Too cute - her sitting at the computer! What's up with the shorts & tank top?!?! We're all in sweatshirts & long pants here:0)

Glad you got the injections approved! Now she'll be protected from that nasty virus!

Thanks for thinking of us... we're thinking of you, too!

Oh, thank goodness! What great news. Shots are no fun, but they're better than the alternative!

It's great to know Arianna will have a little extra security again RSV tis season. By next year she should be out of the high risk category, so hopefully no more worries.

She looks so intent on watching the screen, too cute!
