Vaccinations???

After 2 seizures in two days in dawned on us that Madison had just gotten her MMr shot this previous Wednesday.

I know that many will say there is no point in blaming myself but just a it of googling will have you having a second thought about giving your child the shot. Especially if she has a history of seizures.

Apparently the measles shot alone increases the likelihood of a febrile seizures three times. The mumps shot  is also known to cause convulsions. Put them together and add the rubella in the mix to take another jab at your already lowered immunity and you have a recipe for disaster  even if you child doesn't have epilepsy to begin with. On top of that doctors like to give 20lb babies more than one shot per visit so we also got the Pneumococcal shot to prevent pneumonia.

Now up until now I blindly trusted my doctor's judgement thinking that it's better for her to get the shots than get sick, since getting sick also can predispose her to have seizures. But a little reading done a little bit too late has changed my mind. No one will look out for the best interest of my child but me. 

Most importantly I need to make sure i stay informed from al different source because the government and our doctor's  medical opinions seem to be very lopsided to say the least.
