Father, Who Is Terrified Of Needles, Tries To Comfort Baby During First Shots - The Outcome Has The Nurse Unable To Stop Laughing

Nov 13, 2018 by apost team

Do you have a fear of needles? New dad Antwon Lee does, and it’s caused him some troubles with his new little one.

Every shot given to his little baby Debias King was a shot to the heart for the Georgia father.

For the first several visits, Antwon was in more discomfort than little Debias. The baby would squirm in discomfort under the doctor’s lights, in the cold clinical setting, and cry out in pain during his shots. Antwon’s wake up call to toughen up during his son’s shots came with the loss of his own father.

On the very day of Debias’s two month check-up, complete with another round of shots, Antwon’s father passed away. Going into the checkup, Antwon was hardly able to keep control of himself. But when the needles came out, instead of struggling as he had in the past, Antwon knew he had to be beyond calm for the sake of his boy.

Antwon held Debias in his arms as the nurse prepared to give him his next round of injections. Though seeing your own child in pain is one of the most difficult things for any parent to endure, Antwon knew that this moment was not about him. It was about Debias.

It was about making sure Debias not only felt at ease, but making sure that he felt love.

Antwon wanted to be sure that Debias felt all the love and support that he had felt from his own father growing up.

Thinking back on the love and support of his own father, Antwon felt a wave of calm wash over him in the doctor’s office. As he spoke gently to his son, Antwon noticed that Debias’s sons began to soften and soothe.

Debias, even at just two months, listens to his father when he speaks. Antwon felt the need to speak to his son that night, softly telling him that his greatest goal is to see his Debias succeed in life before he dies.

Antwon knows - from first hand experience -that he may not be there for his son’s whole life. In spite of this, or rather because of it, he wants his son to know that support will always be there for him.

Debias needn’t fear needles or anything else while he is in his father’s loving care.
