Madeline has been feeling a lot better today and she even played with her friend Lauren all morning. Unfortunately though she developed a red bumpy rash all over her body which I discovered on the way home from our friends house. I took Maddy to her pediatrician and they did the usual strep test and other testing. The rash is actually from the high fever she had and this is just another sign that her little body is trying to fight off that nasty virus. Therefore, we just have to wait it out and the rash should clear up in a few days.

Since we were at the pediatrician office, I went ahead and finally took the plunge to begin her vaccination treatments. Today Maddy received 3 shots in her legs. MMR ( Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) TDap ( Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis) and the Chicken pox vaccination.

This is her first round of shots and she only cried a little bit... but it was over in a second.

Luckily, now Madeline only needs 3 more shots within the next few months and then she is all caught up and will not need any others until she is 4 years old.

Otherwise, Madeline is acting as usual and running around playing like normal. Madeline weighs 25 pounds.
