He nods. He hugs his wife.

The doctor leaves. Peka pets the baby.

They tell family they're doing shots slowly and they'll bring her around for visits once she's caught up but aren't risking it sooner.

Permalink

Katin corroborates. Apef visits only when Makel's folks won't catch her.

Permalink

He sends his best wishes for the baby and some presents.

He and Nertel start obsessively researching immune conditions in newborns which could cause fevers when she gets her sprays.

Permalink

Fevers after immunizations aren't uncommon, there's just variance in how bad they are.

Permalink

This is not anywhere near a sufficiently detailed picture when it comes to their first granddaughter!!

Permalink

(And what's Katin, chopped liver?)

Fevers in infants are bad and can be exacerbated by a variety of normal and abnormal conditions and treated with assorted treatments and don't usually indicate adjusting vaccine schedule.

Aitim tells them it'd be obnoxious to send a research paper on the subject to Makel and Peka and not even very helpful to send a list of recommendations for a doctor for a second opinion. 

"Aren't there laws about immunizing on schedule -"

Permalink

"You want me to fine them? And the laws are to protect the public, they're not going out in public. I am sure she'll be all caught up soon."

Permalink

Grandparents indulge in more grandparently fretting.

Permalink

The little family doesn't go out in public. Well, Katin goes to school, but when she comes down with a cold she asks if she can crash somewhere without a poor little inadequately immunized smol.

Permalink

Fretting grandparents would be delighted to have her!!

Permalink

So Katin goes and stays with them.

Permalink

They are happy to have her and have the cook make all her favorite foods and ask her about the baby, what's she like, how is she doing, how are Makel and Peka doing...

Permalink

The baby is lovely and very small and cute and apparently a more difficult baby than Katin herself was but squishy and soft and good but she got so warm when she got her first immunosprays. Makel and Peka are coping but probably getting less sleep without Katin around.

Permalink

And how's Katin liking school?

Permalink

Katin loves school! She has child development courses and knows how to do baby first aid stuff and can sing over three hundred nursery rhymes and wrap babies in slings and swaddles and such. Apparently orange kids on the nanny track do weightlifting by way of gym class so they can pick up kids.

Afen and Nertel are very proud of her. 

Permalink

She is proud of herself too!

When her cold is better she goes home.

Where baby Ana is perfectly healthy.

The ex-red purple masseuse confides in a co-worker. The co-worker holds her head underwater in the resort hot tub until she drowns and then reports himself for polluting the hot tub.

Permalink

Was he unfamiliar with the cleaning procedure, the interviewer asks, did he mistakenly think she'd confessed to actually being a red in disguise?

Permalink

That's what she said, that she was a red, you can't clean them, they're ancestrally filthy. And she touched people.
