Booster shots

Dearest Mavi,

This morning we visited a private clinic here in Belgrade for your booster shots. We finally discovered a private clinic located at New Belgrade.  Your Dad and I have been looking forward to this visit because it's been 10 months since you last visited a pedia.  We were hoping that everything will go well so that our fear of not having pedia here in Belgrade will finally wane.

To make the long story short, you had your booster shot today.  Thank God, everything went smoothly.  The clinic's clean, and the receptionist, the nurses and doctors were very friendly.

Your pedia, Dr. Ljiljana was so fond of you. She told us that you are such a beautiful baby boy.  It's just funny though, that she couldn't speak English. There was this kind male-nurse who was with her and served as her interpreter.  You were so quiet the whole time, too shy to speak I guess. It's a good thing that there was a lot of toys inside the clinic, so you just kept on playing with them while the doctor is examining.  She first checked your breathing, then your lymph nodes, weighted you and measured your height.  At 18months, you weight 11.5kg and 83 cm in length. She told us that you are in perfect condition.  Then she prepared your vaccine.  She put a cream of anaesthesia on your butt and after 5 minutes we laid you on the platform on your stomach. Daddy was holding your legs while I was hold your arms, facing you... talking to you to keep you preoccupied so as not to feel pain. After a few seconds, it was all over and you did not show any sign of pain. Wow! Good boy!! Daddy was very very happy that you finally had your booster shots and we were able to find a good pedia. He can finally sleep hehehe.

To celebrate, we bought you Sladoled Karamel!

We will go back on the first week of April so you can have your laboratory test.  Then six weeks from now, we will go back to the clinic again to have your MMR shots.  

So Mavi, we thank God everything for giving us a wonderful, healthy and smart baby boy.  Thrive my dearest...

Love,

Mama
