Well child visits and EEG

Hello.  Bethanne and Christian had their well child visits yesterday.  Christian is now 24 inches long and weighs in at 14lbs 3 1/2ounces!!!!  He has almost doubled his birth weight, no suprise with the way he nurses though .  He recieved the Pediarix vaccine which includes the DTaP, IPV, HepB and then seperately the HIB, PCV and the oral Rotateq.  The ones they gave him in his left leg caused a reaction which left his leg hot to the touch, red, swollen and painful to any touch  so I called the ped and thankfully got a dr who is a fellow Sister in Christ.  He seems better after two doses of Tylenol so hopefully we won't have to take him back in this afternoon.  I am now considering not giving any vaccines given that Bethanne had a reaction to either the measles or the mumps vaccines we gave her the last time-I don't like seeing even a tiny bit of a reaction in my children.  We also have an unspoken prayer request on the behalf of Christian. Otherwise all is good with Christian.  My husband is dealing with something right now and doesn't want many people to know about it so please if you could keep him in your prayers until we find out what is going on we would appreciate it.  Now as for Bethanne, she is 33 inches long and weighed in at 26 lbs 7oz and she recieved a delayed vaccine of the HepB as we found out that that vaccine does not contain human diploid cells or in other words aborted baby cells.  She thankfully did not have a reaction.  The did do a blood draw to test for lead, since they didn't get a level on her the last time and she was still eating cat and dog food then-but for now has stopped .  There is some concern that her fontanel has not closed and the NP thinks it feels like it's still opened about 6mm so she has to go back in 2 months to re-check it.  She also has to have her stool softener everyday to see if that helps with her constipation problems we are still having.

 

Hannah goes in this morning to Children's Hospital for the EEG.  We don't think they will find anything but please pray for us anyway-it can never hurt .  I will post more later on that as we won't know the results today.

 

Also please continue to pray for the Amish families in PA and elsewhere, I am sure it's affecting the Amish in other states as well with them being so close knit.  Also remember the shooter's family, they need support and help through this difficult time.  I am feeling so bad for them, my heart truly aches for all the families and communities involved.

 

God bless.
