Hello

[Guest guest]

My name is Laa. I am the mother of 2 year old Lillian and 7 month old

Lucas. I did not know about any of my rights as a parent when Lillian was born.

She was 4 lbs. 8 oz. and 18.5 inches long. She was the skinniest thing I'd ever

seen but she was fierce and I thought, 'uh oh! She's a powerful person. We're in

for a ride. ' Immediately they gave her a few shots. Then, they told me what

they'd done. They didn't ask first. I looked at my tiny baby and FREAKED OUT

inside. I didin't say anything to anyone becuase I didn't know I could. When I

got home, I began to read. When I found out that I could split the vaccinations

up and give them to her one at a time I did that, but still didn't get any

relief inside. I did not feel any relief until I decided not to vaccinate her at

all anymore. Lucas has never been vaccinated. I now wonder if I am making the

correct decision. Were my fears just because Lillian was so tiny and looked so

fragile to me? I will never know. She's

perfectly healthy now and there was no damage from the vaccinations that she

did have.

I am here mostly to lurk and learn. I will comment here and there but I do not

anticipate actively posting a lot. I will read 99% of what comes through.

I look forward to meeting some new friends here.

Laa
