My dilemma

Update: Appointment went well. Doctor actually asked me if we were doing vaccines today. I said no and told him about his uncontrolled seizure status. He said no problem and if I ever wanted to catch him up, just schedule a nurse visit and that was it. Very easy. Thanks again for all the input.

I strongly believe that every vaccine out there is unsafe for anyone! Especially In this case I would stop vaccinations because I think the vaccine could worsen the already existing condition. Here in Ca you can waive the vaccinations for school.


Actually the CDC's own website says if you or your child has uncontrolled seizures, DO NOT get the DTaP vaccine. And if you dig further, if there is a family history of seizures, then you also should not get that vaccine. Things they just don't tell you at the doctor's office...
Turns out Reuben is considered "up to date" as long as he is still in preschool, as far as the state is concerned anyway, so no waiver even needed.

You don't need to "talk your dr into" ANYTHING!! Just say no and mean it. You don't need his permission to protect your son. I would def. wait on the vaxes at this point and prob. not do them at all.

Just a note: every new dose of any vaccine has new risks to a child even if you've "already done them". I fell into that reasoning fallacy when my son had his 15 mos. boosters-- so that was it for him! Fortunatley for us, after intensive biomed, lots of prayer and therapies he has recovered [story on my journals page]. So glad you've reached a decision to not do any more vaxes. IMO that is the right choice.
