His old self again

Eli went to the doctor yesterday for his 8 week shots. I thought the doctor said something along the lines of "they really don't get reactions to the shots anymore." In retrospect, I think she really said something like they don't get the fevers as much anymore (although he did get a fever). Either way, around 8:00 last night he suddenly woke up and started this inconsolable crying that we have never seen from him before. The vaccine fact sheet listed fussiness as a side effect. This was red-faced, body-clenched, breathless screaming for about 2 hours. We gave him some Motrin and I finally put him in the sling and he passed out from exhaustion. We didn't know what to expect from him this morning but he woke up back to his easy-going, happy little self.
