My daughter has been a human pin cushion for the past week or so. Friday, Sunday, and Monday she had her first round of Rocephin shots, in attempt to kill, what appears to be an unstoppable ear infection. Thursday she had her 4 month shots because her right ear looked good and her left ear looked better. However she did not sleep again last night....so back to the after hours clinic we went, for another Rocehpin shot. We did quite a few rounds of these with Buggy Boy as well, but not this close together...and not this young. I hate, hate, hate doing this to her and do worry about her becoming resistant someday, but tonight was the worst. Ever. It honestly looked like the nurse was using a dull needle - or maybe baby girl has developed calloused thighs due to all the shots, but it did not want to break the skin. The nurse had to use quite a bit of force, and it broke my heart :( Poor Baby, on so many levels. But having been through this before, I keep reminding myself, "This Too Shall Pass".
