Big Girls Don't Cry

I had to give one of my best friends, little girl, immunizations today. She is 11 and I have know her since she was a little baby. It is amazing what a beautiful, intelligent young lady she has become. She had to get 4 shots and I wasn't sure how she would do. I knew she would do well, but wasn't sure if she was going to have some anxiety prior to me getting there. Once I arrived, she was ready to go. I wanted her to eat a little snack first while I got the vaccines drawn up. She was so calm and wanting to get it over with so she could go back to playing with her friends. Her mother told me that she told her friends that she had her own personal nurse. How cute it that. She received her shots and had no problems. Of course, she went back to playing soon after. I wish all my patients were are good as her. I spent the rest of the evening hanging out with mom and dad. It was definitely a business and pleasure kinda day!
