Well... Finally the rash on Emilia's face and body has almost disappeared. I can still see faint marks on her face but I am sure they are not permanent.
Nobody I have spoken with has experienced this type of reaction to the MMR vaccine. I guess it is one more thing to add to the list of unusual things Emilia decided to do, including the neonatal tooth.
Emilia was born on May 31, 2011, at 25 weeks and 5 days in gestational age. She came home on October 21, 2011 after spending 143 days in the hospital. Today she's a thriving, happy baby who continues to amaze us every single day. This blog records the journey of our miracle baby.

Fever and rash after MMR shot
Emilia had a moderate to high fever last 4 days. It started 6 days after her 12 month immunization. Her doctor had told me about 10-15% of babies experience a fever or rashes after the MMR shot but I didn't expect to see 39.5degrees on the thermometer. Emilia was feeling really miserable (and irritable). She didn't sleep well either and that made all three of us sleep deprived over the weekend. Fortunately this morning the fever is gone and she is happily babbling "mamamama bambamba." but now she has developed rashes on her face and body!! So much for a vaccine...
