Kindergarten Checkup

This is the last week before Spring Break and Kyle had his "Kindergarten checkup" today with his doctor.  He received the 4 vaccines, the last he needed before he could enter Kindergarten!  His appointment was at 3:30pm and we just barely made it about 5 minutes before his appointment.  We didn't get called in until about 10 minutes later.  In addition to his 4 vaccines, he ended up trying to reach/grab for one of the needles and sliced the inside of his hand.  Thankfully it wasn't a deep cut.  The nurse put a band-aid on it and it stopped bleeding about 10 minutes later. 

We now have all of his required paperwork to get officially registered for Kindergarten!  I am so glad that is over.  

After we arrived home, Kyle seemed tired and had a dazed look to his face.  He somehow got a second wind and started acting like his normal self (running around, playing, etc). 

He took a bath with no issues.  He even went to bed tonight without any problems.  Just as I was trying to fall asleep (just before 11pm), out of nowhere he threw up a few times!  It was just out of the blue.  Shannon automatically brought up that his vaccines may have caused this!  I just hope it was that and NOT another round of a virus that will last 3 or more weeks!  We're going to keep him home tomorrow from school because he may still be in pain or be fussy.  Plus, school policy is that they have to be "throw up free for at least 24 hours." 

We put everything he threw up on (his clothes, sheets, and the towels we used to clean him up) into the washer tonight.  I don't care that it's late, they need to be cleaned and we can worry about drying them tomorrow! 

As I was writing this post, Kyle threw up again about 45 minutes after the first time.
