I posted below that T had a reaction to her MMR. She developed a fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes (in her neck, under her arms, and in her groin). She was also highly irritable, wasn't eating or sleeping.
Thursday evening I paged our family pediatrician and she called me back, and instructed me to bring T in first thing in the morning. After she had a once over she sent us with admit orders to the hospital.
That night they did a stool sample and also found rotovirus(I wasn't expecting that!) We were finally discharged Monday afternoon. I wont go into the traumatic details that are inevitable when you admit a 13month old with stranger anxiety to a hospital and "throw the book at her" But I will share a picture taken on day 3 when Auntie Rae brought in a camera and T was finally well enough to remembered how to smile:
And for fun, I have to share these comparison photos...What a difference 5months makes(love my boy):

Atleast you decided to pick on me about my kids flat head, I was afraid you were gonna say I looked tired again. :Þ
Thanks for the comparison photos - what a big boy!
Glad to hear you survived your hospital stay and are back among the land of the living.
i'm glad it was a short hospital stay & that T came through ok.
i'm shocked to see that they haven't changed the peds gowns patterns since 1987 (i may even have pics to prove it!)

Nothing like watching your sick child be tortured by medical staff... Ughhhh!
