Brotherly Support

A couple of months ago, Gus had the first in a series of three HPV vaccinations. One of the potential side effects of this vaccine is the immediate possibility of fainting. In true brotherly love and support, upon hearing his big brother might pass out, Niko burst into fits of laughter.

The shot was a doozy, and although no fainting occurred, Gus waited for the nurse to leave the room before bursting into tears.

Today we had the second installment. As we walked into the doctor's office, Niko asked if he could please wear his ear phones to listen to music on his phone. When I asked why, he replied, "So I don't have to hear Gus scream in agony."

Way to be supportive, little man.

Editor's Note: Today's shot wasn't nearly as bad. There was no fainting, no tears, and certainly no screams of agony!
