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!

THANK YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH for all the sweet wished for Paul.

TOday, his fever is not too bad - he's been pretty cool all day - but his rash is MUCH worse . I am really worried now and losing my patience with this whole mess. I understand kids have to catch 'bugs' in order to build up their immune systems, but this seems extreme to me.

We went back to the doctor today, and made the Dr. verify exactly which vaccines he was given (verification is done using serial numbers from the manufacturers) and Paul was absolutely NOT given the MMR - so, this is surely not a vaccine reaction now.

The doc did a quick Strep culture in the office, which came out negative. She took another one to send to the lab to be sure. I am taking Paul for blood work in the morning, and we might know some additional info (like white cell counts) in a couple hours following. The rest take a few days to process.

I AM JUST OUT OF MY MIND over this...DH and I are truly exhausted....we haven't slept well in days and I'm worried that we'll become sick from being so rundown. I have a headache the size of the grand canyon...but, my mind cannot 'shut off' enough to rest.
