Kai is currently covered in spots. I'm relatively certain he's having a rare reaction to the chicken pox vaccine he got on the 5th (I have a half-memory of Kai's pediatrician telling me that he could break out in a rash up to two weeks after the shot). In the photos he's got Cortison cream slathered all over him (it didn't help). (and yes, I am aware that one of my hairs is stuck in the lotion on his cheek. Gross, I know. I can't always be perfect.)
As bad as his little tummy looks, his back is even worse!
He has no fever or other signs of infection. But this begs an important question: are the doses of vaccine standardized and therefore too high for him? He's barely longer than an average newborn and 97% of his peers weigh more than him...I suppose I should ask his pediatrician, but in the meantime, MODs (Mothers of Dwarfs): What have your experiences been with vaccines/vaccine reactions in your LP kids?
