Jevon's latest visit to the doctor in Denpasar Bali

This afternoon Ika and I took Jevon to Puri Bunda, the private hospital on Jl. Gatut Subroto in Denpasar. Just over 3 months ago he was born here and since then has been back a few times for immunisasi. A couple of the first visits were included in the price of the birth and subsequent ones cost 275,000rp. They have a schedule for immunisasi and Jevon has his own book, similar to the buku kontrol, we had before he was born. Getting to Puri Bunda takes about 25 minutes by taxi and costs around 30,000rp each way. Today the place is quiet and we are first in line for our 4pm appointment. The other families are all Indonesian and include Chinese Indonesians and others, most within the age range of 25-35. It's a steaming hot day here in Bali and I want to get back home and into Barrie's pool, before hitting the internet again.

Puri Bunda has a weird system of allowing people to call in days in advance for a place in line, then abrutly cancels the list. Ika got us to be #1 so I was very happy. We got to see the doctor when he was ready and about 15 other fmailies were also waiting at that point. The doctor weighed Jevon, who at almist 3.5 months now weighs 6.3kgs. The nurse wasnot around today so I had the job of holding Jevon's leg down while he got a shot in the thigh. He screamed for about 20 seconds, then shut up, then started smiling! He's really good with that kind of stuff and its doesn't get to him.
