John has taken 2 allergy shots, twice a week, for almost 2 years. Yesterday we went in for what was supposed to be our last set of "regular" shots. After you finish your complete set of shots, then you are just on a maintenance plan, where you go once every 2 weeks, and then eventually once a month. Believe me, when you have 4 kids that come with you to the allergy shots twice a week, this is really something you look forward to.
Yesterday, John had his last shots. They don't really bother him, usually. After we waited his 20 minutes to get checked, we went back into the shot room. John has asthma, so the doctor measures his breathing before and after his shots. Before the shot, John blew a 210, after his shot, he couldn't even blow a 105. He had to have more tests and medicine, and he will have to have more regular shots. His body couldn't handle the last dose, so we have to keep working on more smaller doses. So, we thought we were done, but we're not...at least we only have to go once a week now.
Look at the picture of John - such a big boy. If I had to get 2 shots twice a week, I would cry. John never gets upset, he never cries - he just takes the shots and moves on.

The Big Kids
The kids LOVED this old jeep. It still runs. Uncle Richard took the big kids for a ride through the cow pasture. Will, especially, was in hog heaven! (or is that cow heaven!)
