• Mar. 6, 2006 - AK's 5 year checkup

Posted in Homeschooling

AK went to the doctor today.  BW took him since I knew he was getting his Kindergarten shots and I didn't think I was strong enough to hold him down now.  Very healthy boy!!  He's exactly 40 lbs and 40 inches - BW said he's like a cube:)  The doctor was going over his records from our old doctor and noticed that he had actually received all his shots last year so all he did today was a finger stick blood draw and a tb skin test. 

 

So the doctor asks what school he's going to be going to Kindergarten at and BW tells her that we are hsing.  She starts to look uncomfortable and says that she isn't sure what the immunization requirements are for hsing.  BW told her that he needs to be vaccinated just like any other kid - why would the vaccinations be any different??  I think we've just been so spoiled with the great amount of hsing support we receive here - between the seminary families and the 3 hsing groups (that are all based just in our city) we are involved in and my online hsing friends that I forget that it still seems really "out there" to a lot of people.   

 

Anyway, glad to know that the boy is healthy, growing & thriving.

That's a weird reaction from the doctor. Although vaccinations have recently become controversial, I thought most people vaccinated for health and safety reasons NOT just for school requirements! It's not like HSers have no contact with the broader public. You are still susceptible to contagious diseases! I don't see what HS has to do with vaccinations at all. Strange.

That cracks me up! What vaccinations are required for homeschooling. I haven't heard that one before.

I haven't responded to that one blog. I tried many times to form a response but I was so unsure as to how it would sound to her ears, by that I mean that I would hate for it to seem like an attack on her. I have been praying for her.

I thought about you all when we were down in LA. :) A lot on Sunday because I would have much rather been at your church that at the church of disney. yuck. My brother has been hanging out with us during my visit here and that is a big deal. He is 27 and single and not saved.

I am glad your "cube" had a good check up.
