dtap/dt/td
this past monday Lily had a doctor visit for her three year old check-up
she had two shots the hib and the dtap/dt/td
not only was Lily’s right leg so sore that she couldn’t even walk but when it came to getting up and ready for school on tuesday morning, Lily chose to stay in bed
until 1pm when she finally felt less sore to get up
after she walked around a bit and seemed a little like herself, she started fading again
after the fading came the vomiting
and after the vomiting came the three hour knocked out nap that she doesn’t do unless she is really sick
i noticed a pattern
i had somewhat noticed it before but this time it was really apparent
the vaccines
i looked at her vaccine chart and sure enough
every time she had the dtap/dt/td shot, this had happened to her
she has had this shot four times now since she began her vaccines
a pattern was comforting because she had always woken up like nothing had happened to her but it still completely freaked me out because it’s vaccines we are dealing with here and what if she didn’t come out of it the same?
she is fine now
i’m glad that the recommended amount for this dtap/dt/td is four to five shots
she is done
i am glad
happy friday

That one knocked me on my butt even as a grown up — I had the booster 3 years ago when my boys were in the NICU. Still, it’s super important. Babies used to die from pertussis all the time.
