Clinical narrative: Patient's nervous system seemed to be on OVERLOAD the day after the injections were given. He was very sensitive to touch and wanted snuggles but then would get up and walk away, come back etc. He didn't seem to know what he wanted, very unsettled. He also started coughing and had an incredible amount of mucous. He wasn't interested in eating or drinking. He looked very pale/peaked-sick. On Sunday (2-15) I took him to Urgent Care because something was wrong, but I didn't know what it was. The doctor said that it was an Upper Respiratory Infection. His tonsils were red, rt ear a little red, excess mucous, cough, temp. 97.7 (at 12:30). On our way home he fell asleep in the van. When we were about 5 minutes from home he woke up coughing and crying. I tried to calm him with no success. The next thing I knew he let out a blood curdling scream and started seizing. He had a gran mal seizure that lasted approx. 6 minutes & was taken to the ER via Ambulance. The Dr ran some blood work and felt that it was a febrile seizure. This did not make sense because of all of his previous symptoms and his temp was 101.4 AFTER the convulsing seizure, screaming, crying and holding his rock hard little body tight for over an hour. He had not had a temp anytime before the seizure and did not have one after we came home from the ER.
