I care for a little one who is 7 months old. She was born with a mild airway malformation and so she has a tracheostomy to breathe through. We have to keep her on a Pulse Oximeter to monitor her oxygen saturation at all times.
She is super active and an absolute cutey pie. Always grinning and smiling.
This morning I went with her parents to her Pediatrician appointment. (I'm really not in a position to say anything about my vaccine views to these parents)
They had all sorts of vaccine propaganda up all over the office. Including a reprint of a full page vaccine ad published by the local children's hospital. It says in GIANT red letters "Immunizations are safe and totally effective. If you love your child have them vaccinated." Then it had a ton of small bulleted points underneath it.
:
Well they gave this little one 5 vaccines today. One combo and two seperate.
Her Oxygen sats are always solid as a rock. She sits between 98% and 100% at all times.
This afternoon after the shots she became super tired looking with red rimmed eyes. Her O2 sats wouldn't stay up either. She sat between 90% and 95% all afternoon. We had to put her on oxygen. Then when she was sleeping she kept having apnea spells and her sats would just plummet into the 80s.
It was scary and it made me so sad for her. I know there is no way to know if the vaccines were the cause of her trouble this afternoon. However, it seems way too coincedental.

: If her oxygen levels are always constant where you said, and then a sudden drop after her vaccines, to me that seems like a real concern not you 'pushing your views' on the parents. I would be heart broken if something happened to my daughter one of the times she was vaccinated and no one spoke up when they noticed a correlation when my child was vaccinated prior.
