I took Leland for his 1 year check-up last Thursday. He got 5 shots. One in his right leg, two in the left leg, and one in each arm. He actually didn't cry as much as I thought he would, but it was still horrible!
The doctor said that because he was getting his first MMR shot, he had a really good risk of running high fever for 7-10 days. I kept Motrin in him every 6 hours from the time we left the doctors office through the next day, so luckily, it stayed in the 99 range. He was still pitiful. You could definitely tell that he didn't feel good. I had to get up at least 4 times for almost an hour at a time Thursday night.
He seems to be back to normal now Thank goodness!!
Leland now weighs 24 lbs and 6 oz. He is 30 1/2 inches tall and is in the 75 percentile for both height and weight. The doctor was happy he is on whole milk, no bottles, and said he is perfectly healthy!! We go back when he turns 15 months! You can tell how much he has slimmed up from crawling everywhere in the pictures in the previous post. He has only gained 3/4 of a pound since his 9 month check-up.
