Well, Acacia no longer has her ear tag.
On Friday I took her(and Timothy) to see a pediatric surgeon, hoping to schedule a time to have Acacia's ear tag taken off. The doctor quickly looked at it and said, "I think I can do it right now"... YAHOO!! Can't be better than that! So the doctor gave Acacia some numbing shots around the ear tag, and of course little princess wailed,
but as soon as I picked her up she calmed down and even started to smile. I guess the numbing medicine works quickly. After waiting for 5 minutes the doctor came in with 2 nurses(the 3 of us hold Acacia so she couldn't move). The doctor used a kind of burning device, it's like fuses with laser or something and started to take off the ear tag. According to the doctor it shouldn't be painful for Acacia, but she still cried very hard. It really only took less than a minute for the whole process and we could smell this terrible burnt smell. Then it's all over. Acacia no longer has ear tag.
Before the doctor did the little surgery, I took several pictures of her ear tag just so she could see how it looked like one day, also for me to remember how she was born with the ear tag... I actually felt a little sad... because the ear tag was surely in the genes that came from my grandmother. But we felt for Acacia's sake it should be taken off... so she wouldn't feel bad about it when she is a little older.
I guess it really didn't hurt too bad because she seemed very normal afterwards. I only gave her some pain medicine once just to be safe.
Last night was another story. For some reason she cried and cried and cried and cried at around 8pm, none of us could comfort her. We couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, but finally I took over and she stopped crying, and I was able to get her to giggle and smile... mommy's girl FOR SURE!! That's right, unbelivable as it can be, Acacia already has her preference in mommy. Everyone says how could it be possible, she is too young to do that! But I guess she is extra smart because she surely knows who she likes
Mommy mommy mommy!!
Today my mom helped with the free flu shots at the elderly apartment center and she took home flu shots for us. Jacob was very brave and volunteered to take it first, only ending up with crying said I lied to him it hurt so much. I guess that scared Timothy and he refused to take the shot. after about 30 minutes he finally gave in, and he didn't even make a sound when my mom stick the shot in. He actually has higher pain tolerance than Jacob!! Way to go my boy! Hopefully the flu shots will really work and we will all be flu-free for the winter season. Now everyone except Acacia in the family is immuned.. keeping our fingers crossed !! No virus welcome!
