An Ear Full

In the first month of Liadans life we needed to take her into the clinic to get her hearing checked… everything checked out good so far.. so her ears are going to be ruined like all the rest of ours when she is a teen with her headphones and concerts.

The tuberculosis rate has risen by 80% in London over 10 years so they now are vaccinating all children in London now for TB. So we made another trip to the clinic to get her shot in the arm and my parents came with me. It was horrible, they stick a needle just under the skin and inject this liquid that forms a white blister the size of a tart and tiny and it’s not quick. Why it was so bad though was Liadan poor face.. she squiggied it all up and tears filled her eyes and her mouth and cry were just heart wrenching, it was the look of what the fuck do you think you are doing that hurts – you don’t love me!!!! She soon forgot by the next day but I haven’t and am not looking forward to her 8 week immunization session.
