Jac had his second Synagis injection on Thursday. He cried as expected during the shot but I got him eating very quickly and he calmed right down. He did not seem to have any reaction to the injection that day but last night (Friday) we think he developed a fever. He was very unhappy for several hours - crying and eating on and off. Jac is a very calm baby and generally does not cry much - as long as he is held and comforted - so this was very unusual for him. Around midnight we figured out that he was too warm (we had swaddled him to calm him - which usually works) and gotten him to warm in the process. So we made a semi-naked baby and gave him Infant Tylenol. It took a while to kick in - about 1.5 hours later he finally crashed, asleep on Daddy and we all slept for a couple of hours.
When people tell me about their babies that cried all of the time I can hardly imagine. I am tired and Jac just cries when something is wrong and we can almost always quickly figure out what it is and fix it.

synagis is a scam. this stuff costs $4,500 PER SHOT! Even if your insurance covers part of it like ours -- 80/20 -- this drug can cause you to go broke! My wife and I are tapped out, our flex-plan money, GONE. This was NOT explained to us when we agreed to it after a tough hospital stay and a $200,000 hospital bill. Oh, and btw, this expensive snake oil isn't a vaccine -- it does not prevent RSV, they just claim that it lessens the bad effects. Oh, and BTW, it's FREE if you're on medicaid or welfare -- how effed-up is this?
