As a nurse, I see medicine work, but still like to question things--such as vaccines. I'll have you know, I haven't had a single patient with the Swine Flu/H1N1... Makes me question a lot more of what the government/media feeds us. I agree with Lindsay--you doing your own research is more than others do. I really enjoy your blog. <br /><br />Christy RiceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448883092542262511.post-62985981443839018382010-05-27T09:56:25.159-05:002010-05-27T09:56:25.159-05:00It's so very hard the first time they get sick...It's so very hard the first time they get sick. And I'm afraid it doesn't get much easier. Seeing them suffer at all is heartbreaking. I don't know who said it, but I feel like I truly understand the quote that "having a child is like watching your heart walk around outside your body."<br /><br /> But rest assured you're doing more than a lot of parents do for their babies. You're breastfeeding--yay for you!! You're researching and spreading out vaccines instead of just going with what's popular. You are doing the best that you can do--and that is all Milo needs. :)<br /><br />Hang in there--this parenthood thing can be tough. And if you need someone to commiserate with on the vaccine thing, you know you can call me. My doc's office has been less than supportive, but I still keep fighting for what I think is best for Gavin. Unfortunately, I'm afraid with all this new medical legislation, we won't have the alternative schedule choice much longer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845145378577132823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448883092542262511.post-71901376575960071272010-05-27T09:44:44.446-05:002010-05-27T09:44:44.446-05:00I remember how awful I felt the first time Charlot...I remember how awful I felt the first time Charlotte got sick. It was terrible, knowing that she felt bad and there was nothing I could do about it. I still get sad when she's clearly uncomfortable and all I can do is cuddle her.<br /><br />What I can tell you, though, is that even when I thought she would NEVER get better, she always did. And then she was her smiling, mischevious, cutie-pie of a girl again, like nothing ever happened. Kids get sick and it sucks, but it just means that their immune systems are doing what they're supposed to do.<br /><br />I wouldn't worry too much about the vaccines. I know it's a hot button topic for some, so I'll refrain from expressing too much opinion, but you are doing far more good for your son by vaccinating him then punishing yourself for making the decision to do so. Charlotte has received every vaccine that was recommended (although we debated back and forth about chicken pox) and with the exception of one spiked fever a few days after a set of shots, she has been fine. Milo will bounce back and won't even remember the shot in the leg. Charlotte takes out her frustration on the nurse giving the shot, not me, so I get to be the rescuer. She loves me. It's pretty sweet.<br /><br />Milo's lucky to have you as a mommy. Just trust your instincts!Linda and Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139761685514532826noreply@blogger.com
