Valarie. Lucas had the same reaction to DTAP and Polio that were given together

when he was 2. Scared me to death. We ended up back in the ER the next day9 18

hrs later.,with a temp of 105. His blood work shifted in that 24 hours and they

told me he had a severe ear infection as well as he has a left shift in his

differential . Meaning his bloodwork showed he was fighting an infection. They

gave him IV antx in the ER and he got better. He was totally lethargic and would

not move his arm. I was angry with myself since I had not given his vaccines and

let the Dr.s bully me into giving the DtAP. I would say that the only other

vaccines he has had is the Pnuemovaccine and he has had it 3 times with NO

problems. So sorry she is feeling so bad.

Subject: Re: pneumovax ??

--- Ive been watching and Im thinking its both. Her arm still hurts

like crazy, but the fever is coming down. BUT.....her throat still

hurts, and overnight her sinuses have become crazy congested, she just

woke up begging for a sinus rinse(which she HATES) so I know her

sinuses must hurt a lot.

Im wondering if maybe she was coming down with something that just

wasnt obvious at the time we gave the shot......and thats why she is

having such a hard time, fighting both things at once.

Hows Macey since her surgery? is she feeling better?

If it were Macey and the fever cleared the next day then I would say

it was a reaction. If she carried fever over the weekend then I'd say

it was an infection/viral thing and treat that.
