Honestly i am shocked that they aren't giving him medical exemption from vaccinations. It could not be the pertussis, it could be any number of things in the vaccine. They say the pertussis part causes the most problems because it is actually a toxoid(the toxic residue of the bacteria correct me if I'm wrong), but they all have similar ingredients in terms of preservatives and additives. Who knows and honestly who cares. I'm saying this from my heart. Think of it this way: I have a son who is allergic to dairy and eggs it actually causes swelling in his throat and digestive tract I know that if he eats the diet everybody else eats he will probably die. What do I do about it? try different dairy and egg products and wait and see if they cause problems? nope. i've had people tell me he won't grow up big and strong if he doesn't eat like everybody else. I have three children and the only one in perfect health is the baby. She is 11 months and as of two days old she has not had any medicined and has never had any vaccines. Both my other children had health/emotional problems as babies; they had all required vaccines. I have been called radical, stupid, and everything else; but it is the truth. Doctors are there for the money and they recieve monetary incentives to vaccinate. If something happens to your precious baby it will not concern them. Yes I have a caring family doctor, but he wouldn't be crying every night and blaming himself if my baby was injured or killed by vaccines. I would be and I know you would too. You have to make the choices. With my baby I made the choice not to vaccinate because the risks outweigh any possible benefits. Look up info on the diseases especially the ones you are most concerned about. Honestly I think we are seeing more deaths and serious illness in the vaccinated. Nobody can guarantee he won't get a disease whether he is vaccinated or not. , wife to , mom to Katelyn age 7, Evan age 6, and Ariel age 11 months _________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE online virus check for your PC here, from McAfee. http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Dear Ginger, I am so sorry to hear this news. I will keep you in my thoughts each day. With Love, Re: update Dear Ginger, I also do not post very often, but wanted to send you all my Love, Thoughts and Prayers. I pray that the Lord will ease your pain and help guide you through this most difficult time. My Love and warm thoughts, Shirlee [ ] update Hello, My friends, It is with a very heavy heart that I must send this post. I have nit been doing well for some time now. I recently had some tests done and I have been diagnosed with end stage pancreatic cancer. My team of doctors are wonderful, however, there is no cure or treatment at this stage. It has spread to other organs. I have been given 3 to 6 months to live. GOD is with me and I am at peace with my mortality at hand. I pray that HIS will be done. I also pray for strength to get through each day with dignity. They have me on morphine already and have told me I can get whatever I need to keep me as comfortable as possible. I will miss all of you, but I will be looking out for you from above. This group has been so good for me. Three years ago I formed my own small group with several people from this group that I had grown close to. We talk everyday, and I feel that they are here with me. Only GOD knows what HIS plan is for me. I am HIS instrument. hugs and kisses, Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Ginger, I'm so sorry to hear your news. I hope your remaining time will be rich and rewarding.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Dear Ginger, Thank-you for sharing your life with us. It must be very hard just to say the words to people, it would make it more and more real. I wish you love, comfort and peace as you face this part of life. A friend of mine who works with severely disabled babies said that one parent came to peace with the knowledge of their young son's life expectancy because they believed everyone has their personal life time and most have no idea how long they will be with us, but with him the road was just more defined. I think of this often as we face life's challenges. Know that we are honored to know you and prayers of strength and love will be coming from me, too. Bless you, do what you need to do for you and let God hold you up through the coming months. With love and prayers, Amy Seattle, WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
