Dandelion spring (and leg stuff)



Wren wore shorts for the first time this afternoon. It was a balmy 67 degrees and the dandelions are all in bloom. Frost picked one for Wren and rubbed it on his forehead to give him a yellow spot. Wren enjoyed holding the dandelion and tried to eat it. we didn't let him.

In these pictures you may be able to see that his left leg (the one on the right of the picture) is a bit swollen. The color isn't as visible in the picture but you might be able to see that it is blotchy. This evening the color is better but it is still bigger.

Our pediatrician is submitting an adverse reaction report to VAERS. We are wondering whether the reaction had something to do with the Synagis shots he had at the same spot on his thigh 3 days before. The shots that were given in the left leg were Prevnar and HIB which are not usually responsible for swelling like this.

Anyway, besides sleeping a lot (probably due to going to bed at 1am last night) Wren has been quite happy today and enjoying being outside.

Hi
We had an awful night of sleep - I think Wren is now coming down with a cold or cough or soemthing. Ugh.

He woke every 90 minutes crying except for one 3 hour stretch. Now he is sleeping while I carry him!

His leg is still a bit puffy but not as noticeable.
