[blparent] immunizing.

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Oh, I think she did have the Vitamin K.  I was still kind of in a haze then 
from having a C-section, but I believe I was told that it was the law, that 
all babies had to have the Vitamin K injection to prevent blood clotting 
problems.  I could be confused, but that's what I remember.
