Its such a hard choice to make because I’ve heard about so many side effects and yet when my kiddos get sick…they get sick! So, I choose to prevent it as much as possible…Well, the flu shots aren’t in until next week, therefore; I have a month to think about it. In the meantime, Erin & Taylor needed a couple other shots to prevent cervical cancer. They received those shots and were troopers doing so. Taylor wanted to film a little peak into our Doctor’s office. We have been with Dr. Wes for 14 years now….so you can imagine we have a unique relationship with him. Read More
