Paul Needs some TLC! *UPDATED* Pg. 2
Ladies, my darling little Paul is not doing so well ![]()
His fever came back yesterday afternoon and he woke this morning burning up again and covered from head to toe in a strange, blotchy rash.![]()
I am at my wits end for this poor kid!
DH and I took him back to the Dr. this morning and she said this IS NOT a reaction from the chicken pox vaccine! First, she said it looked like measles![]()
!!! She said it could be from his MMR vaccine![]()
!!!
Well, I almost had to be PEELED OFF THE CEILING at that comment...you see, I *never* 'Ok'ed' the MMR vaccine 2 weeks ago, so if she had given it to him w/o my consent, I was going to go BALLISTIC on her!
She said it is typical that MMR and chicken pox are given together (not combined) - just on the same day. To me, that is just RIDICULOUS - that is way too much for a small child to handle, IMO. I CLEARLY and FIRMLY told her that after this episode, we WILL be delaying the MMR until he is a bit older.
It seems like Paul may have been reacting to the chix pox vaccine over this past weekend - but NOW, she thinks that his fever (which is still high, but not quite as bad as Sat/Sun) and his rash are viral and that it should go away on its own in a day or two.![]()
So, I have to bring him back on Thurs. for blood tests if it's not better!![]()
Please....if you don't mind....can you guys send my little boy some of that good 'ole fashioned LIWeddings love? He could use the extra TLC right now!![]()
Thanks!
