what would you do?

[Guest guest]

Everyone,

I need some advice as to whether or not I should tell a friend who has

just had her 5th child that she should consider NOT vaccinating her

newborn anymore. Here's some background in which to consider:

She was diagnosed with a blood disorder which prevented her from

concieving their 5th. She miscarried once prior to this pregnancy and

was soon diagnosed with this blood disorder (cancer) that the doctors

say she will have to have a bone marrow transplant for later. They put

her on an oral chemotherapy and later gets pregnant.

The doctors say that the chemo is perfectly safe to take while pregnant

after the second trimester because it doesn't pass the placenta

(personally I believe these " low " risks are a bunch of bull as I saw

what chemo did to my father years ago...much less to a developing baby).

She delivered by c-section at 36 weeks and the baby immediately started

having breathing issues. The day she was released with the baby to go

home in the car the baby stopped breathing and had to be revived at the

ER. They did some testing and said that the child has severe reflux

which will require surgery and a feeding tube.

This friend goes to my church (ss class) and is sending out updates to

our group. During her pregnancy she has been seeing the chiropractor

we see and is also has been consulting with a holistic practitioner for

herbs/vitamins. As far as I know all of her children were fully

vaccinated, one of which has celiacs and are always sick. The e-mails

sent out are about asking for prayer, wisdom and for answers to why the

baby is so sick.

I'm due to take her family a meal on Monday and have had this burden to

ask her if the hospital gave her son the hep B shot before leaving the

hospital. I was also thinking of giving her " The Vaccine Safety

Manual " by Neil . She and her husband spend much of the day at

the ICU and are home in the evenings, so I know they are exhausted and

overwhelmed and don't know how considerate it would be of me to bombard

her with this info., but at the same time it pains me to see a baby

that is so sick (complications possibly from the vaccine itself) and

the family so bewildered and directly involving the SS class for

prayers. I almost feel like it is my responsibility to share what I

know before the situation worsens anymore. The poor child is innocent

and at the mercy of what little their parents and doctors know on this

subject.

Anyway, just curious as to what you all might do in this situation.

Thanks,

Alice
