Have had a pretty rough week this week with Ryan being very unwell. Started on Mon night with him being a bit irritable thru the night and by Tues night he had uncontrollable fevers. I had him dosed up on paracetamol, ibuprofen, was doing tepid baths and he was still burning up with fevers over 39 degrees. Poor miserable thing. Took him to the Dr on Wed (not my normal Dr who was away) and he said just a virus, nothing they can do... blah, blah. Woke up good on Thur, but had come out in a rash and by late afternoon he had the uncontrollable fever again so had him back to the Dr yesterday (my Dr this time). He got out the book on the jab reactions and everything fit Ryan's symptoms, so he literally has a 'textbook' reaction to his MMR jabs last week. Nice knowing now, but sadly we may still suffer the fevers on and off over the next week. Hoping for more off than on. We had a much better night last night. I managed to sleep in my bed and only got up to him three times. He still has the rash, but seems to be doing okay.
The silver lining in all this is being glad i got him immunised as if the dead virus cells can do this much damage i really wouldn't want him to get the real deal!!
