I brought Calyce to the Thomson PD centre at TB plaza today for her first 6-in-1 and Rotavirus vaccine. She was smiling to us while waiting for the jab (not knowing its going to be painful) but immediately broke into tears even before the jab went in. Poor Calyce was also suffering from block nose for quite some time already but wasnt sneezing badly or having alot of mucus though, but heavy breathing when she sleeps every night. The PD decided to perform suction procedure on her nose to clear the mucus and she was crying away during the procedure. After which was the injection for 6-in-1, which makes her cry even badly. Unlike Cepheus, who cries only for a while (less than a min usually) whenever he goes for jab, Calyce cries very loudly and long, maybe because she is a girl and is more aware of pain..Calyce is getting a bit warm tonight due to the jab i guess but we are not giving her any medicine yet as we are still monitoring, and she wasnt crying at all in discomfort too. Calyce was drinking lesser these days from 120ml back to 100ml, sometimes cannot even finish it, seems to be suffering from colic whenever she drinks too as i need to burp her many times before i can put her down to bed. Hope she recovers her appetite soon as PD mention that she is not gaining enough weight yet (should gain 1kg per month but she gained only 600gm). Next week will be Cepheus turn for his last MMRV jab. Hope he doesnt cry much too as it will be his last jab until he goes to primary school i guess..
