Last night was the reaction to the immunization. With the other girls I just gave them Tylenol, so they were never fussy with shots, and never had any of the side effects. There has been new research come out that giving an infant Tylenol to ease the difficulty of immunizations is a bad idea. It both hinders the body's needed response to the vaccine, and can actually cause problems with binding to the heavy metals in the vaccine carriers. So Miss Zada had to just tough it out. Her little legs were probably sore, and she ran a fever in the late evening to early morning as her little body dealt with the shots. Thankfully, the fever went down a bit by about 3 AM, and was gone by this morning.
And she was chipper and happy as can be!
Tonight she was really funny. She had grabbed on to her gym toys with both hands and wouldn't let go even when Jon was trying to lift her off the gym. We all had a good laugh and I managed to snag this picture.
Once her fever broke it hasn't come back and she was her regular delightful self today. We are so grateful she handled it so well, and now we know what we might expect with the next sets of shots.
