Arnie got a call yesterday from Alison from Interim Healthcare regarding the scheduling of Olivia’s next RSV shot. They wanted to do this on November 15^th. Arnie mentioned that Olivia was scheduled to have surgery the next day (possibly) but if that was ok with them it was ok with us.

Alison called back this morning to say that Dr. Mello’s office says No vaccines for four weeks before or after surgery :huh. We are scheduled to go into Dr. Friedman’s office next week for her 4 month checkup.

So I called Dr. Mello’s office and questioned this – as Olivia had her hepatitis B vaccine one week after surgery last time. Apparently they will evaluate her recovery and she can have her vaccines after he gives the green light.

I then called Dr. Friedman’s office and talked to them about it. Dr. Friedman is going to call Dr. Mello’s office to see if they can put the RSV shot in her IV after surgery. I requested that we KEEP next week’s appointment as a pre-Operative appointment / weight check. They moved our appointment to 9:15AM so we’ll get in a room before any of the “sickies” get in.

• November 10: Dr. Friedman’s office for 4 month checkup minus shots and pre operative appointment
• RSV and 4 month vaccinations held off until after surgery when Dr. Mello gives the green light.

This stuff just makes my head spin.
