Poison

So I took my healthy daughter to the doctor today just to inject her with a substance that will make her sick. Does this make sense to anyone? I have studied and researched vaccine safety for 3 years now and I still wonder if I have made the right decision for Megan. At two months Kendra was given 6 vaccines. It was down hill from there and I vowed never to do that again. Today Megan was given (at three months) the Rotateq for the rotavirus and the HIB (Act HIB with no aluminum). I'm smarter this time around and hope her body can handle it. I eat really healthy and I've given her probiotics. I'll write in a few days to let you know how she is.

Two or three weeks ago I came down with the flu. It began with a severe sore throat, fever, body aches, chills, and then it traveled to my lungs. I hoped for the swine flu because then - hey- natural immunity! I worried that Megan would get it and that it would go into RSV. The little stinker took all my antibodies which made it more difficult for my body to feel better but she never got sick. Amazing.

Kendra now attends preschool once a week. She absolutely loves it. I had time to do her hair cute this week.
