6 month shots....

Wish us luck, Maxson is getting his 6 month shots today! :( It's so hard to watch them cry when it happens, but I know that it is what is BEST for him. I'm so grateful for vaccinations. So many diseases have been completely ERADICATED because of the blessing of vaccinations. So many children around the world are dying because they don't have access to vaccines...it makes me so thankful to live in a country where they are so readily available. I know some of you may disagree, but I think it's irresponsible to CHOOSE not to vaccinate when it is such a blessing to have access to them!! {side note: because of the recent surge in people not vaccinating, diseases which were previously nearly wiped off the planet are now being seen again! how scary.} I feel peace of mind knowing Maxson won't get measles. polio. diphtheria. pertussis. hepatitis. the list goes on and on! Anyway, I don't mean to chastise those of you choosing not to vaccinate. My point is that I personally am so THANKFUL that Maxson is able to be vaccinated and be disease-free. I'll let you know how it goes today!
