Trying Again

Our allergy/asthma doctor called the other day about Ian's bloodwork and said that he needs the pneumovax shot and she wanted us to try CT scan again.  As a side note, I had the pneumovax shot recently myself and it actually worked for me, reducing the frequency of sinus infections--woohoo!  So today we tried for the second time to get the CT scan done on Ian.  I decided to try a different place and gave him Benadryl beforehand.  It didn't make him sleep but did seem to mellow him a bit.  So he laid very still and we got it done.  I was amazed!  Now, if only I could convince him the vaccine would be just as painless!
