Today was a busy day, as we had to head out right after breakfast. First we had to go get Lainee's visa photos done. Then it was off to the Medical Clinic for Lainee's exams and vaccination(s). We were not sure how many shots she would need to have till the doctor reviewed her prior vaccination records. 
Don't I look pretty in pink?!!!

Waiting our turn to see the doctor
First we saw the Ear, Nose & Throat Doctor
Everything with the ENT checked out great
Next Lainee got her height(?), weight(21.3lbs), & temp(normal) 
Lainee fell asleep right before we went in to see the general physician.The GP said everything was good, then we got the bad news; our little angel needed 6 shots.
We were not looking forward to this room.
She got 2 shots each in her right arm & leg, and 1 shot each in her left arm & leg. She was so good and only whimpered a little with each injection. I think it hurt her mommy and daddy more though. We then had to wait 15mins before we could leave to make sure there were no adverse reactions to the shots. We were very concerned because six injections given all in one day, let alone right in a row, is hard on a baby's system. Keep in mind these are immunizations normally given to babies over the course of several months and usually only one at a time. After we were released to go from the clinic we were instructed to monitor her temp for 24hrs. A fever could be a sign of bad reaction. Thankfully there were no reactions of any kind. In fact, she was doing so well we decided to go with all the other families for dinner.
After the day Lainee had we figured she would enjoy a night out with all her friends.
We went to Lucy's an American restaurant within walking distance from our hotel.
We told her she could have anything she wanted off the menu. lol
FYI- she chose mashed potatoes

Looking up at our hotel- The White Swan

Much Love,
Danielle, Ryan, & Lainee, too
Glad there were not reactions to the shots, but wish the law had been passed before she had to go through all of this!
