Carina did her first year check up on Nov 2. It was quite different than Colton’s first year check up which was done in Saskatoon. Colton had his blood pressure meassured and his finger got poked to squeeze a drop of blood out for a test (either glucrose or iron). In Vancouver, the doctor just examiner her by pressing her tummy and looking at her eyes and ears. I think Saskatoon’s medical system is better in terms of personal care. After the examination, Carina got her shots. She had 5 shots in a day. 2 on each thigh and 1 on her arm. Of course she cried so hard that no voice came out at one time, then she was crying really loud. Other than that, she was fine. I didn’t give her Tylenol. She was a bit tired and she fell asleep in the car on our way back home. But she was active for the rest of the day and I couldn’t see any discomfort from her. She’s tough!
