Nicholas popped over to his pediatrician’s for a shot of something called Synergis. This stuff is recommended for preemies in their first year to give them an added boost to fight off respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)…the common cold to those of us who don’t speak the Greek of the medical profession. He’s such a trooper…though I dare say he’s probably going to hate his next visit as he’s likely to have five or six shots in quick succession. (Ouch!!!)

And who knows, maybe it will help ward off some of the other nasties that Mommy is exposed to at the WakeMed Children’s ED. All I know is that it’s supposed to be very helpful, it costs a boatload of money, and insurance is paying for the ride. Woo hoo!
