Pedia visit #4

Vaccine: IPD

Weight: 6.1 kgs
Lenght: 60 cm

The vaccine is originally scheduled last December 5 but we were so busy with her baptismal so we decided to move it a week after. Last Saturday, we were at St. Margareth around 10 in the morning and there were a lot of kids. We were 15th in the list.

Dr. Patdu decided not to give her IPD as Claire has colds and cough. Instead, he gave us medicines to treat it and we will meet this coming Saturday for her vaccine. So, her day includes three times of Salinase (2 drops per nostril) and four times of Ilosone (60 mL). She’s getting well every single day, thank God.

Pedia visit #3

Vaccine: Infanrix Hexa (Hib-DTaP-IPV-HepB) and Rotarix

Weight: 5.4 kgs
Lenght: 56 cm

The immunization is supposedly scheduled last Oct 24 but was moved to Oct 31 as her pedia was in the States then. Last Saturday though, typhoon Santi had finally made it's landfall in Manila and there was a strong gush of wind (plus no electricity for more than 12 hours for us) so we opt to move the her vaccine again. I don't want to brave the storm with a baby in tow. Luckily, her pedia had schedule during Sundays so when everyone was in the cementery visiting their passed loved ones, we, on the other hand were at St. Margareth for her vaccine.

She was first given Rotarix (oral medicine) then Infanrix Hexa. She didn't cry at all. Her pedia prescribed Biogesic for her and we had her take it for 24 hours.

Next vaccine, IPD on December.
