More Injections

I took Little Prince back to the Health Clinic today for his Mantoux injection to be checked. He had absolutely no reaction to the Mantoux injection at all, recorded at 0mm. Yet the Doctor still gave him the BCG! I asked why but the doctor didn't really explain and I don't know why Little Prince had to have the BCG!!! He wasn't happy about going back to the clinic, and as soon as he saw the medicine vials on the table he started to fret about them! He kept interrupting and asking what they were for, why was the doctor touching them, why was he mixing them and generally worrying. When it was time for the injection he clung to me and refused to turn around, although I did eventually get him sat as the doctor wanted on my knee. He was very upset and said this one "hurted" and this time Little Prince definitely wanted to follow the doctor's orders and get some chocolate on the way to school. He chose a Kinder Egg and luckily the garage on the way to school had some!!!

I'm not sure how we are going to cope with the lesion left by the BCG! The doctor said not to let Little Prince scratch it or bash it!! That will be almost impossible, unless I tie Little Prince's hands behind his back!!!
