Got Shots?

NO, not this kind of shots! Today, we went to the infectious disease doctor and got our travel shots. We wavered back and forth on whether or not to get shots and finally I left it up to whether we could get an appt or not. So, what did we get? We both got the Hepatitis A shot and I got the Tetanus. Hubby got the tetanus last year. We will get the 2nd series of Hep A in a year and that will give us lifetime immunity.

We discussed the Typhoid and the doctor felt like we would not be at risk for it being primarily in Hanoi. He gave us a preventative antibiotic for diarrhea and an antibiotic if we get diarrhea. Sounds like our chances of getting it are pretty high, but at least we got antibiotics.

He also suggested lots of immodium! All this for the low, low price of $300!

We are still waiting on the travel call and pray that it comes today! It was a pretty rough and emotional at my house this past weekend. This is the toughest part yet. We just want to travel. I will take whatever intestinal bug that I get if it means getting Christopher home. So, please continue to pray that all our travel dates are coming soon!
