Haven had his 12 month well visit and got his chicken pox , measles and mumps vaccine. 11 days later he woke up with spots, and a low fever. They got worse as the day went on, so I took him to the doctor. Well he has the measles. Supposedly only 5% of kids will get the measles from the live but weakened virus vaccine. Anyway he has been pretty miserable scratching and just not feeling well. Luckily the doctor said he shouldn't be contagious. I took a few pictures to show everyone and to put in his scrapbook. My poor baby!

I'm so sorry, that's just horrible! He looks so miserable...and just so darn cute at the same time!!! :) Good luck!
I've never seen such a bad case! We used to paint calamine lotion all over to help with the itching. Or maybe an oatmeal bath. You've probably had a million suggestions on how to relieve his torture. Benedril too. Dr. probably told you something better. Hope he really isn't contagious. Really sorry. We love you guys. Stephaney
