--The heath department called today and no big deal...they said

they strongly urged us to take antibiotics, I said no...and they said

ok. ALOT easier than I had expected. Hopefully I do not get any

further calls from them! They did try to give the speech about

how important immunizations are, but as politely as I possibly

can be (sometimes not very) I told her I did not want to hear it.

We have not had the greatest luck in our house....my son is brain

damaged from the whooping cough vaccine, so I no longer

vaccinate my kids. Then to complicate matters, all three of my

kids have gotten whooping cough! (even my poor boy who was

damaged from the stupid shot!) Jill
