I was nervous because he already has brain “issues” and I didn’t want him to have something not around longer injected in his body. But I also had the fear of complications if he got swine flu.

I was seeing my own doctor for something and they had tons of swine flu shots and after weeks and weeks of going back and forth I just had the boy stick out his arm along with mine and did it. Then I hoped for the best. It went fine. None of my worst case scenarios came true…any they were bad in my mind. Sudden onset of uncontrollable seizures? Permanent loss of language skills? Nada. He did laugh at me for being a big weenie when they put the needle in my arm. Whew. That doesn’t mean I won’t be nervous next time.
