Unbelieveably Ellie was already six weeks old, and due for her first lot of immunisations. I'm not one of these mums that gets all worked up about the needles and cries or anything, but I do hate how they disrupt everything for a few days afterwards.
The needles themselves were fine, but the oral drops proved a bit of a problem for the nurse. She was really worried that she would squirt them in to Ellie's palate, and it took ages for her to get the courage to do them. Of course it was fine though.
While I was there I asked Doctor Naiker to send through a referral for us to see a paediatrician. The doctor that discharged us from Burnie had said we'd be seen by the outpaitents clinic but we'd never heard anything about an appointment. Doctor Naiker said he would push it through as urgent.
Surprisingly, after her needles Ellie slept through the night for the first time. She wasn't grumpy at all and didn't really seem to even notice that anything untoward had happened. The good sleeping lasted for two days, and then she was back to "normal."
