Abby has spots. Do not worry, they are not contagious and don't seem to bother her too much, just an occasional scratch or two. It should be gone in a few days. The doctor says it is a reaction to her MMR vaccination. Great. As many of you know I have been on the fence the last few years in regard to the safety of vaccinations that are "required". So Abby only had her two month old vaccs and has been on hold ever since. At her 1 year well child I decided maybe we should talk to the dr (who of course is going to encourage them) and get her opinion. Well I decided maybe I should get the majors, polio, mmr, and a few like that. Well folks here we are with a rare reaction to the mmr vaccination. My thoughts can't help but go to the original reason why I was hesitant. It could have been a different rare reaction, one that won't go away and one that could have permantely affected abby's well being. It is a hard decision. I would feel terrible if my children got sick and died, when it could been prevented, but I would feel awful if my child got sick from the vaccination too...So we are now back on the fence.
