My newborn now 5 mo almost, has only had 1 round thats it. and we stopped shots on my 19 month old.

I just wanted to tell a little of my son's story. Joshua was born in October of 2009 and was supposed to receive his 2 month vaccinations after Christmas. I was always nervous about them with my other two children and would pray so hard before, during, and after that God would protect them from the side effects. My little Joshua started getting sick right around Christmas and over the next couple of weeks continued to get worse. He was strangling on his own mucus and turning blue in the middle of the night. We literally stopped sleeping and took turns watching him to make sure he could breathe. It was terrifying. I took him to the doctor and because the worst of his episodes happened at night, they said he had a cold/respitory thing and it would just have to run its course. By January 15th, he was having strangling episodes during the day and night, turning blue, not able to breath. We changed to a new doctor and he said it sounded like the symptoms of Pertussis or "the whooping cough". We took Joshua to Scottish Rites and they admitted him and he came back positive for Pertussis. We don't know to this day how he caught it and he wasn't quite old enough to be vaccinated when he contracted it. During that time we heard this disease was on the rise and babies in other parts of the country had died from it. It was so scary to see him so sick. We were very blessed that he recovered and was able to get over the illness. The cough literally lasted from December to nearly March and it was a while before we felt safe letting him sleep in his room away from us. I definitely approach the whole vaccination thing with anxiety because I agree that injecting viruses into our childrens litte bodies is frightening. I also fear the diseases they are supposed to prevent and the effects of those as well. It is definitely a difficult choice. I have gotten Joshua vaccinated since then on the normal schedule, but I still pray every time! His doctor doesn't give the Rotovirus vaccination and after hearing your story, I am glad! Thanks for all your advice and tips on this blog. I haven't followed blogs before but am enjoying yours very much!Jennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151451901618141928.post-3669638181346772392011-05-25T11:35:32.881-05:002011-05-25T11:35:32.881-05:00Hi Angela.

From the doctors making me feel like my children would die without the shots, to family members not agreeing, and some parents not letting their children play with my kids. I believe if parents were told the truth about these shots and not lies, then parents could make the best decision regarding their family. Chemicals are not good for your body period. I am loving your blog and all your ideas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5151451901618141928.post-68536749878763277952011-05-21T10:51:30.629-05:002011-05-21T10:51:30.629-05:00Angela.. as I read this I couldn't help but sh...Angela.. as I read this I couldn't help but shed some tears.. As a mother myself I couldn't even BEGIN to imagine how you felt that night worried about your baby Jennabeth. I would have been a nut case!<br />I agree with you on the vaccinations,they are hard to understand,and can be very confusing! I held off as long as I could on the chicken-pox vac.but they had to have it before they could start school. I was SO sick that the day they got the injection from thinking about it. <br />Praise the Lord that he protected your baby girl that night knowing that you had your hands full with your other babies and husband gone. <br /> I LOVE reading your Blogs! :)<br />Mary JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
