Modern medicine

This morning James had his four year checkup. The original plan was that I'd stay home with his brothers. However, everyone is stressing how important flu shots are, so we took all three of them. Needless to say, this was not a happy experience for them. When our kids were little I dreaded shot days. However, I knew it was for their benefit. Today I was brokenhearted as they were all stung by that healthy needle. Poor little Gav declared, "My yeg huts!" While James had three shots and voiced how much he disliked the "owies"! Jack was simply stunned. No one had a great time. Still, I'm grateful for modern medicine and the difference it makes in our lives.
