Owwies...

Today was the day for Kaiya to get her first immunization shots. I was a nervous wreck the entire visit because I couldn't help but worry for when the time would come where the nurse was going to pull out her enormous needles (well, compared to Kaiya they were enormous) and poke her with them leaving the poor innocent infant in pain and agony, not knowing what was going on. And when we finally got to that point, I felt so bad for my little love because she was behaving so perfectly, and even smiling at the nurse when she was giving her the first immunization, which was just a couple of oral drops, thinking everything was fine and dandy. Little did she know what was coming her way...then, immediately after her skin was wiped clean, the first needle struck into her left leg startling the innocent child causing her the most hurt look her face had ever seen looking betrayed and grieved, and all I could feel was guilt for being the one inflicting this pain, since I knew it was coming and I did nothing to stop it. And then, one right after the other, all four needles had done their job. Finally, I was able to feel like the savior instead of the culprit, when I quickly swept her tiny body off the torturous bed and rapidly soothed her at ease. Ahh, at last, her and mostly my, nightmare was over and we could finally go home, the safest place I knew...
