Kris got her MMR jab the very next day after our return to Singapore. She didn't yell as much as we predicted during the vaccination and we thought yeah we are off for a good start.
One hour back home, she started to vomit out her breakfast! Another hour later, she became hungry and wanted some milk. Bad move I guess. After her milk fix, she started to vomit out all the milk. This time round, on me. Urghhh, I desperately need a bath but she was yelling badly as her father carried her away. Fear of her vomiting again, I took over without having a bath! Oh gosh! Two of us just hurdled together in vomit. Thankfully, she slept within 15 minutes of rocking. Off to the shower I rushed while she slept in her soiled clothes.
Two hours later, she woke up. This time round by her rumbling stomach and she had loose stools. I was petrified! I goggled to check on the symptoms of the vaccination. These symptoms that she was suffering wasn't informed to us by the clinic. I called my Sister, Jo who is an expert in child bringing. We were advised that the MMR vaccination is the worst kind as children develop different symptoms. My niece, R developed high fever while my other niece, K suffered from nightmares for a week. My nephew, A developed diarrhea that smelled like sewage refuse. That's the exact same smell with Kris poo. I felt comforted.
Dinner time is coming.... I wondered what can she eat. I heard from my mum that porridge water is good for curing diarrhea and prevent dehydration. I boiled some grains with water for 30 minutes. I offered Kris a spoonful of soup and waited, she smacked her lips and open a tiny crack to taste. Next, she widen her mouth. Ok, she likes this! After 10 plus mouthful, she decided to call it quit.
She resumed her playfulness nature till bed time and I thought the worst was over in fact the worst was yet to come. I diluted her bedtime milk, however after a while she vomited all out again. Time for a pajamas change!
The next day, she woke up with slight reddish eye lids with no sight of red eye. As the day progressed, her eyelids becomes redder with some greenish discharge, and her body feel warm but she was not running a fever. Her vomit and diarrhea spells stopped. She looked lethargic with droopy eyes. She spent her day sleeping mostly.
She woke up the next few days with her eyelids glued with discharge. She was also lethargic and didn't resume her playfulness over the next few days. We decided to bring her to the doctor when her left eye also started to get reddish eyelids. The doctor advised that its due to dust and germs and not due to MMR. All these came too coincidentally together. The doctor prescribed us some eye drops which it's always a struggle dripping into Kris eyes.
One week later, she resumed back her usual self! Screaming, crawling and being playful.
Today is the 8 day after her vaccination and I hope the normal usual symptoms will not come at all!
