Yesterday morning we headed off to Dr. Ola's office for Tuckers 18 month check up. He checked out well and had to get three shots. He fell asleep on the way home and slept for about an hour and a half. He didn't eat much lunch and then we headed to Target to get a few things that we needed. Around 3:30 he started getting sleeping so Mark held him and he felt
warm so we gave him some tylenol. He woke up around 4:30 and he felt warm so I took his temperature it was 102. His fever continued to climb to almost 105. His little heart was racing from the high fever and he was shaking, it scared mommy. We gave him more tyelnol at 7:00 and gave him a luke warm bath but his fever didn't break until he threw up all over mommy and himself. It went down to 103 and he slept until 9:00. Mommy talked to the on call nurse and she said that 20% of all babies have this reaction to the shots. Once Tucker was awake we gave him motrin and pedialtye. He fell back asleep until 2:30 and his fever was finally down to 99. At 3:30 he wanted to eat some he had some goldfish, after not eating for 12 hours, and drank a lot of pedialtye. He went back to sleep from 4:00 to 6:30 and woke up still running the low grade fever. He has been eating lots of goldfish and drinking pedialyte this morning and is running around and playing.
Here are some pictures that daddy took when he fell asleep at he got sick around 7:00 last night.
