A Jab in his thigh ...

It didn't take too long before Luca screamed in tears at Kinder Clinic on Saturday. It was time for his bi-monthly immunization, a pain where every infant goes through and also a pain where parents feel even though the needle didn't even come close to me as a father.

He wailed for a mere 30-45 seconds and I sure was proud of him. Not a cry baby like his dad -me.

Towards the evening, his body reacted to the vaccine. A climbing temperature which indicated fever. Slight but still worrying. After all, it's the first time for us all.

The fever went on and off and a few drops of panadol prescribed by the doctor helped but the little rascal spits the red liquid out everytime we force it into his mouth.

It's Sunday now and the fever still persists. Will have to monitor him and make sure he feels better. Hopefully after tonight, he won't get a temperature till another 2 months later - his next jab.
