first immuno shots

today marks pistoy's second month, and with the second month, bakunahan na. =P


this morning, he had a well-baby check-up, then sinabay na rin ang bakuna nya.

first was the rotavirus oral vaccine. umiiyak na si pistoy habang ina-administer sa kanya yung gamot. pero yung iyak nya is yung bearable na iyak pa.

then he got the DTaP, polio and hib vaccines through turok. hawak ko sya sa kamay at braso, si je naman hawak ang katawan at paa niya. we pinned him down habang tinuturukan. =( as soon as tumusok yung unang needle, he wailed! then second turok, then third. =( yung iyak nya, yung walang tunog. i blew on his face 3-4 times ata during the entire ordeal, bago nagkaron ng tunog yung iyak nya. =( ang itim ni pistoy, ang pula, at tumulo ang luha. =( it was heartbreaking to watch. =(

after lagyan ng band-aid yung last na turok nya. he quieted down a bit. karga sya ni je, pacifying him. then within a few minutes, nakatulog na.

hay. feeling ko ako ang tinusok ng 100 needles nang sabay-sabay when i saw his face nung umiiyak. =(

anyway, we (je was only slightly leaning towards it) initially planned on spacing out the shots. like 1 shot per visit. pero for the first dosage, i thought let's go ahead and get everything (3 shots) in 1 visit. should we decide to space it out for the second and third dosages (on 4th and 6th months respectively), we could do so naman daw.

i have my reservations kasi sa vaccine schedule na sabay-sabay eh. i know the link to autism was not proven, but i don't want to increase the risk for pistoy. i dunno, are we doing the right thing? my gut tells me to space out the shots. pero pag nakikita ko si pistoy na nahihirapan or nasasaktan, i just wanna get it over with sa isang beses every 2 months.

ipagdadasal ko na lang na sana pistoy will grow healthy naman. sana unfounded ang fears ko.

at sana wag ma-trauma si pistoy sa doc's office. =( rather, sana wag kaming ma-trauma sa doc's office pag binabakunahan si pistoy.

  1. si eidan gets multiple shots din during his pedia visits.. then sa next well-visit nya yung next set of the same shots.. wala namang sinabi sa min na downside yung doctor.. and i guess they're doing that to all kids..

    naiiyak pa din ako everytime he gets his shots.. lalo na pag walang tunog yung iyak nya sa sobrang sakit siguro.. pero iniisip ko na lang na it's for his own good.. *sigh*

  2. Same goes with sophia. She gets all during her wellness visit. Nakakaawa tlga but it gets better mami harbs. Her last visit (@ 6 mons) humikbi lng sya ng sandali and then nakalimutan na nya.

    As soon as it's over, I always give her hugs and kisses ;) and (for sophia's case) her paci. =) nagwo-work naman hihihi...

    Nakakainis lng minsan, ung ibang nurse dun sa pedia ko parang ginagawang pin cushion ung pata ni sophia. Ung last nya ok kc pinisil muna ung pata nya ska tinurok ung needle.

  3. malapit na naman yung next set of shots ni pistoy, kaya binalikan ko itong post na to. i sure hope it does get better, momma liza. kundi lalo akong maiiyak nyan, lalo na ngayon lumuluha na talaga si pistoy pag umiiyak.
