Oh for goodness sake

When will it ever end........

When Letitia went for her MMR vaccine a couple of months ago, she broke out in rash. Okay it's normal for some children to have some some adverse reaction. Nothing to be alarmed about. Ayway the rash went away.

So when I took her for her for the prevnar jab, I was told that it usually does not cause any rash. But knowing my luck.........she broke out in rash again. This time the sole of her feet were covered in tiny red bumps and she was scratching it all the time. She woke up like 6 times that night and we had to rub her feet so that she could sleep. The rash went away and we thought thank goodness that was the end of it.

Last week we went for her DTP booster vaccine. Since she already had 3 DTP vaccines and we didn't have any problem with the last 3 thisone was going to be a ride through the park. Oh NO! She broke out in rash again and this time it didn't go away. It spread to her face and hands. So to the doctors office we went and she was found to be allergic to something in all the vaccines. BUT WE DON"T KNOW WHAT.

Hai Ya.... shit like that happpens, I know, BUT WHY always to me la. You see Letitia is not a big fan of oral medication. She screams and chokes if she doesn't manage to spit it out. I've tried everything. Hiding it in the milk, in yogurt, in cereal......everything. She some how manages to taste the thing.

So anyway.... i manage to get the antihistamin down her throat and hope that everything will be fine tomorrow.
