Had to take my toddler to the ER last Sunday to rule out a TBI (stumbled into the wall, was fine but then vomited later; no TBI, but did have several days of a stomach bug!), and there are signs up in the hospital to watch for symptoms of measles. Both of my kids are on schedule with all vaccines, all the same I was wondering if we really needed to be there 😬
