A Plague of Boils!

As promised I'm posting the horrific photos of Anya's immune response to her measles vaccine so that when our friends get around to getting their little loved ones immunized if they happen to be far away from home when something like this covers their child head to toe they don't freak out. Miraculously, this didn't bother Anya at all. No itching, no scratching. I however did get a psychosomatic (I prefer to call it empathetic) rash.

There is a funny story though. Anya DID have a crazy allergic reaction while we were out at BBQ one night. Her entire arm turned bright red and all the measles pox turned stark white. It happened very suddenly was very ugly and scared the crap out of me. When your kid starts to have a reaction like this you should check out her belly and neck and make sure it's not happening there (which would be very bad) Everyone around us had clued into the fact that I'm freaking out, and we stand Anya up on her high chair so everyone around us can see, we lift up her shirt to reveal this:

"Eh, she's fine," we say and go back to eating. Everyone around us must have thought we were nuts. I washed off her arm and the reaction went away very quickly. Must have been something she rubbed up against under the table or somewhere.
