So poor Anni got her shots today. She got the "normal amount" for a two month old. She was supposed to get her Hep B shot when she was born but she only got her Vit K shot. She got the Whole meal deal today....
- DTaP: Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine
- Hib: Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine
- IPV: Inactivated poliovirus vaccine
- PCV, PPSV: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines
She got two shots in one leg, INCLUDING Tet... So that poor leg is super sore. Ugh... Poor thing she's swollen and huge on that leg. If she gets really fussy I'll put a cool rag on it. She's asleep right now and drank a good amount. She's a freaking PRO!
The Pediatrician told me that she's needing physical therapy. Because I guess she favors her right side but honestly right now looking at her she's got her head to the left. I think she just kept her head to the right at the doctor office because she was tense. But hey if "physical Therapy" will help her out, why not do it? Right?
The shots were interesting. My husband had to hold her arms above her head (Which I disagreed with but hey whatever he kept rubbing her arms and holding her hands) the nurse held her legs against the table with her legs (Hard to explain) lol it was really heart breaking :( She was a champ though. She's still a champ, were watching her for any reaction, took her temp and she's okay. :) She was palish for a bit. She drank a good amount. :) We got her a medium flow bottle and she LOVES it! It's been a hard day though. I do regret how she got her shots, I think next time I'll want to hold her. I want to comfort her more. :) I'm trying to comfort her as much as I can, jumping at her every whimper.
She's doing really good though. I don't fully understand why there has to be so many poor shots. Especially all at once :( Luckily she just has to wait till she's four months old before she goes through this again. :) Seems like from here on out she'll only see the doc when needs her shots.
The pediatrician said that she's at the 91% for her head growth but she's not gaining like they'd like. I'm feeding her as much as she wants and letting her eat as much as she wants. Were going to wake up every 3.5 hours to give her Tylenol and food. Hoping she'll make a speedy recovery :) Her Daddy and Mamma are very good at recovering from things.
Its been 8 hours sense she got her shots and she's just finally in too much pain we HAD to give her Tylenol :( But so far no fever. I'm hating changing her Diaper because it hurts her. I just I don't know, I feel sickly and sad. Got to get to sleep.
I'll keep ya'll updated on little Anni. You can see her video at
