H1N1 vaccine triumph!

After a previous failed attempt, Graham got his vaccine! So, let me explain the previous two pictures. We went to another clinic, this one a good 45 minutes away from us. There was another huge one going on at the same time downtown, but I figured this one would be a bit more manageable numbers wise. So we got there, and immediately had to wait in a line....for a ticket. The ticket guaranteed us a shot. They had 1000 vaccines to give, we were number 796. I got there 20 minutes before the clinic was supposed to begin. Anyway, at first I was annoyed that we had to wait forever just to get a ticket, but it actually worked out well, since we knew it was going to be a long wait no matter what. Once we had our ticket in hand (after an hour wait), it gave us a time slot that we were supposed to come back during to get the shot. They had someone announcing outside what number they were one, and which numbers where then allowed inside. So, once we had our ticket, we had at least an hour and a half additional wait until our number was called. But, we were able to leave, do whatever. Since we were so far from home (and civilization in my opinion!) we met up with our friends Carol and Andrew, and watched Signing Times on the DVD player in the car. The boys were so good! They watched contently for 90 minutes, and we fed them the "dinner" I had brought. Around 6:30 (we got there at 3:15) we were up! Just to get in the building, but we were getting closer! So, we packed the boys up in the strollers and went inside. I felt so bad that they had no clue what we were waiting for! So, at exactly 7pm, Graham's bedtime, he got his shot. Poor thing. Phew. Glad that is over, after our 45 minute drive home, he went happily to bed, and I am exhausted! I am not looking forward to the fact that he is supposed to get two of these! In thirty days we are supposed to get another one. Hopefully by then, the supply will be better, and we can get it at our own doctor. I'm off to bed, it's been a long night!
