Well, it's that time again.  We have begun the doctors' visits leading to our return to the Solomon Islands this summer, which also means school in the waiting room.  So thankful for the amazing staff who give their time and energy toward the ILC clinic!  Not only do we enjoy enjoy the staff's sweet smiles and knowledge of life overseas, but they also do their best to give us fabulous medical care as inexpensively as possible.  I think we need to take some banana bread when we go back next week to begin our shots...

Oh golly, what shots to they recommend you guys get? What can you do ahead (other than general health and fitness) to prevent getting sick over there?

Julie,
The two youngest girls were too little to get their Hepatitis A shots before we left for the Solomons, so they both need to start that dose. It's two shots, six months apart. All of us need typhoid again, but it's oral - yay! Three of our kids need the normal "booster" shots, we all just need bits and pieces to keep us up to date. Yes, general good nutrition and fitness goes a long way to keeping us healthy, in addition to sleeping with mosquito nets or screens on the windows :-)
