20 month old not-vaxed little one now has Pertussis.

[Guest guest]

A friend got her kids vaxed July 19th. A few days ago my son got

sick. It is very much looking like the start of Pertussis though no

fever yet and seems to only hit hard at night. He is miserable at

night but other then a runny nose and a few coughs, is his happy self

durring the day.

My friend checked and sure enough her 12 year old got the shot....

she just had to mention that my son would not now be sick if he was

vaxed. I choose to not go there with her. I adore her, we are very

very close, but honestly she has not a crunchy bone in her body.

So what to do now? I should mention I have not been vaxed since I

was little and I am currently 26 weeks pregnant. Need I worry about

getting this as well? What can I do? I was told to give my son Vit C

every 6 hours, how much? Homeopathy? If anyone can help with this can

you also send me what I should give him ASAP? I can of course pay.

How long should we stay away from other people? Taking him shopping

ok if I have to hit the health food store for things ok?

Yes, I know, I need to take classes on all this already. -sigh-

My friend actually has me feeling a little guilty about not vaxing

now. I know it could be far worse but no mama likes to see their

child sick.

Almost 4am, I need to sleep.

Happy to know I am not alone here. It helps.

Blessings,
