Illness after Dtap

Gage had a bad reaction to the Dtap vaccine.  His fever spiked at

104.9 on Saturday!  He was terribly out of sorts and I was freaking 

out all day.  Even with tylenol and lukewarm baths he was burning.  

Now he seems to have a sore throat — maybe he had a virus when he got the shot so that caused his bad reaction.  Currently, he’s cranky and sleepless but no fever.

Austen is doing fine, actually she’s been rather sympathetic to all Gage’s crying, so she’ll be a preschool.  Overall, the situation brings back memories of our first baby who whined all day.  

Austen was always the same, screaming a lot, whether sick or not.
