Matt is still feeling pretty puny from the measles. The red rash started to get a little stronger we thought but it is going away. He does not act as though he feels good. Very cranky and irritable. Wants to be held most of the time and tired a lot. The doctor said it would probably be about 30 days for the full effects of the immunizations to be done and the measles to be completely out of his system so-to-speak. So here we are sitting ducks and with a kid that is puny. Yesterday I stayed home with him. I started out just the morning but he started another temperature and then that was it. He slept for a long time and then spent good chunk of the afternoon in my arms not letting me get much done.
Because of what has happened was due to the amount of the immunizations he received (five at once) John and I have decided that no more that three may be given at any one time. I still believe in immunizations, don't get me wrong.
Earlier this year when the entire family came down with Rhoto-virus (refer to previous posts) Matt was the only one in the family who had received an immunization, they just started them the year prior, and he was barely affected. This virus is a leading cause in dehydration hospitalization's and deaths in infants -hence the immunizations- and Ally was knocking on the hospital door.
*Update*
My friends daughter has come out of her surgery well. They found some surprises but all is well now and we are hoping for a speedy recovery. We love you sweetie!
