We had Morgan's 3 year check up today, this was rescheduled from December when we went in for the check up and ended up in the hospital for 5 days. Today was the day that, after our last visit and it was explained to me that vaxing Morgan with Prevnar would have prevented her illness etc. and that she would see her today for her 3 year check up and that we would vaccinate her today.
I came here and posted and I got the most amazing information and support here and today when we showed up for our visit {that our doctor came in on her day off just for us} I was dreading the moment when I dropped the bomb and said no to vaccinating Morgan. Jenny's jaw dropped as I expected and then I started talking. Talking and talking and talking. I was saying things that Jenny had no idea of, I talked about the levels of aluminum that is in each vaccine and according to our local County Health Nurse who called me because Morgan's disease was a reportable one to the CDC, said that there is the amount of aluminum is equivalent to if my child ate one can of tuna in a month's time. That may all be true...but if you are giving EIGHT vaccinations at one visit that the amount of aluminum has just now gone into an overdose situation. I talked about the study that has been done to show the effects of aluminum due to IV tubing and PTN use on preemies and children with kidney issues etc and the amount that these babies are getting just from the tubing has been fatal in certain cases. AND that there are NO studies at all about the levels of aluminum that we are injecting for each round of vaccinations on our current schedule.
Yes, I talked as you can see and guess what? She's interested, she also said that she's heard other parents voice concern over the aluminum but she really had no idea what they were talking about. She gave me her email address and asked me to send her all the links that I can so she can look at what I'm looking at and see if we can work through this together. Holy crap!
I can't blame her for not knowing everything, how can a person know everything? But I could blame someone if given the resources then ignored and went about things as usual and she just isn't the type of person to do that. She really is interested and I wanted to provide her with the cream of the crop when it comes to links. She will, if she is anything like we are here, do more research on her own and stumble onto the other various sites that we also use here but today I wanted to focus on 'solid' links, from educational institutions, pharmacology, CDC, FDA.
I have saved OMG so many links but I want to make sure that I don't miss something that might be vitally important. Big huge thank yous to everyone that has helped me to learn and utilize the information that I've gotten here.

: I started going over the article in this months issue of Mothering, by Dr. Sears and then went off to the FDA website to find links there and then I started reading and I think an hour has gone by and I've got a whopping TWO links in my email.
