Today, Nathan received his first set of vaccinations. Brad and I got to experience first hand the lung capacity of our little boy. At 9:30 this morning, he accepted the first shot with a somewhat confused face. He then received the second and that’s when the screaming started. I have never seen him turn so red. The crying lasted about two or three minutes then he was back to his giggly self. The day went well as he took short naps and continued with his usual smiling. Around 9 pm is when he took a turn for the worse. He became warm and began to cry frantically. We were warned that he would most likely run a fever and be in pain. Our German pediatrician advised us to give him a prescribed medication at the onset of a fever. We did just that. Meanwhile… our poor little guy sounded so pitiful. I don’t think I have ever felt so bad. It is torture seeing and hearing your little one in pain and knowing that there is nothing you can do to stop it. Thankfully, it didn’t take long for the medicine to take effect. He is now resting peacefully and, hopefully, on his way to recovery.
