Weekly Contest 18 || The Diary Game || My Baby's Vaccination Appointment Day - 24/10/2024

It's my great pleasure to join and contribute my day's dairy to this round of Weekly Contest 18 organize by @m-fdo in the Steem Kids & Parents Community and by extension, the Steemit blockchain at large.

Permit me to take you through my dairy for the day as it unfold on 24th October 2024. Sufficient for each day have it's own goodness, happiness and badness. And of course there is little you can achieve for the day.

Morning

Looking at my plan schedule I found out that the day is my baby's vaccination appointment day at the Health Center, so we got prepared early in the morning so as to take him there.

As soon as we finish dressing him up and ready for the auntie who will be taking him there to dress up, he doze off again, so we allow him to sleep.

Once the auntie finished up, I help them get a bolt to take them to Itam Health Center while I will be joining them later once I am done with some house chores, because the earlier you get there the better as you will get your number for earlier attention.

I am done with the chores and am now set and ready, so I hit the road and took my walk from Ikot Ekwere Itam through Calaba Itu High way to access Itam health center road which is close to Itam International Market.

There I met with other mothers and care givers who have equally brought their children for the vaccination exercises. Then I locate my baby with the auntie where they sat waiting for the exercise to commence.

While waiting, one of the workers approached me and try to explain the new online government birth certificate registration portal which is fill using my national identification number (NIN) or that of the mother with other details. So I follow through and get it filled and submit. Then I was directed to do the paper documentation and capture.

Lectures on exclusive breastfeeding were also delivered alongside other do and don't information for the mothers and care givers.

Thereafter, the vaccination was given and the boy cry uncontrollably so we needed to take him home at once so that the mother can breastfeed him since she was a bit down. I got the bolt again to take them back home while I left to care for other things. That brings to the end the vaccination exercise.

Afternoon

I spend some hours searching for the items that my client requested for but unfortunately could not get all, so I returned home to see how the boy is doing.

On getting into the house, I was told he had been crying all through the day which even lead to him having hot temperature and paracetamol syrup was given to calm the pains, because the vaccine was given in the two laps, so he could not even lift up the legs, in fact I really felt for him. We have to took turns in carrying and petting him to at least sleep. Finally, he manages to sleep and occasionally wakes.

Evening

The atmosphere in the house was tensed and everyone was not happy seeing the boy and the mother not feeling fine. Even eating the dinner was not forthcoming since everyone in the house wasn't in a happy state. One thing I know for sure is that no matter how long the day may last it will finally come to an end. So I look forward to seeing a brighter new day we're everyone will be happy and the baby's pain will have subsided.

That brings me to the end of the day's dairy as I present it in this contest.

What a handful of activities for the day! Really a great memorable dairy!
