When first got one 2 yrs ago she had to have 2 and when I asked why, I was told because for the first they had to have two, if they are under a certain age maybe?. after that they would only need one. I haven't called yet to see if she can get in for one yet either. Probably should do that. :-) Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 , Once turned a year old we started getting flu shots. Every year up until last year we were faithful. Even little brother. I'm not sure if it helped or not cause we got everything else including para-flu's. has issues with sensory and his hands are in his mouth all the time. Constantly something. For instance the week before Thanksgiving he had a sever case of Chicken Pox. Then the week of Thanksgiving his brother got them and an ear infection as well. Then got a sinus infection. Returned to school for a week and a half and then the stomach virus. Little brother has it now. Before I had my kids I rarely got sick...not even a cold.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 My son Jordan (5) hasn't had a shot in a couple of years. The ped still calls me every year to let me know that it is available if I would like to take advantage of it for Jordan. In Jordan's case, we spent 2 weeks in the hospital suffering from RSV when he was a little over 9 months. For the next couple of years Jordan received the shots but he is rarely sick so I have begged off getting the shots these last couple of years. Dr. Len, should I continue with them anyways? Let me know! Thanks! Kim. << Does everyone get flu shots for their kids with DS? >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 If Caty got a lot upper respiratory infections....I wouldn't even hesitate to get it for her. I am just questioning it this year because she has been very healthy in the last few years and the trauma of getting the shot is worse than ever. ---------- > From: carole any <carole9545@...> > mainrajah@...; dlneff@...; UpsNdownsegroups > Subject: Re: flu shot question > Date: Tuesday, December 12, 2000 7:41 PM > > HI ,My grandson used to get the flu shot , but his new > ped does not think it s agood idea.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Hannah got one a few days ago and now has terrible diaper rash and diarrhea. Hoping this passes quickly. The Ped. wanted her to get it because of her recent ASD repair surgery. Connie wonder woman (Wondering if I am a woman... lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 I had Hannah's Ped. perscribe ALMA creme for her. I put it on 45 minutes before a shot visit and put gauze over it. On Monday she didn't even look up from her pretzel to acknowledge the shot. For the past 6 shots so far, it's been the best $30 I ever spent.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 > << Does everyone get flu shots for their kids with DS? >> We've never had flu shots. Never had the flu either ... until last New Year's weekend. I got sick first, then , then . was so bad we had to take him to ER. They gave him two bags of fluid before they released him. It was awful. I inquired about shots this year, but they were unavailable. Oh well. granny --- " Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 My opinion? Don't go back to the doctor. Stay away from antibiotics~ they're just making you sicker. Find a qualified homeopathic doctor or naturopathic doctor that can heal your system and you won't need to worry about any flu or cold. Ear infections are NOT helped by antibiotics. The flu shot will make you sick. Don't even think about getting one. Jan G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Stay away from doctors and find a good classical homeopath! It will be the best decision you ever make for your family! Avoid antibiotics like the plague, you're adding fuel to the fire, and they'll only drive your symptoms deeper and never get to solving the real problem. Kay ************* We've been to the doctor's at least 3 times each, me and my daughter, they keep telling us that it's just a cold, or virus and we'll " get over it. " I've been through a round of antibiotics, amoxil, which my daughter has also, and now she's on zithromax, because they said the first round of amoxil didn't work. Ideas, opinions?

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 oh, my goodness....no offense intended, but get everybody off that antibiotics crap!!!!! Ear infections...go to your local GNC store and get some garlic oil capsuls (sp?)....(cheap!)...cut one and literally pour it into the ear...it relieves the pain AND kills the virus causing the infetion....works almost immediately....which is faster than tylenol (which reduces the vitamin C in your body needed to fight everything). Tylenol works just as fast as amox....but I still wouldn't use it. If you don't stop with the amox....you take a chance at your child developing CHRONIC ear infections...getting the tubes...etc THANKS TO VACCINES for the ear infections. Try out the homeopthaic too! Kimberley --------signature------------- Does the supposed intent to irradicate from the human population animal born viral and or bacterial diseases justify the blatant sacrifices of human life? We (pro-lifers) may be particular with what cosmetic products we avoid which contain aborted fetal tissue. After being informed of the ongoing use of these blatant human sacrifices, just exactly how can any acclaimed christian justify their continued participation by vaccinations (containing aborted fetal tissue) without contradicting their Bible based belief in the sanctity of human life? ABORTIONS WERE LITERALLY INTENDED FOR VACCINATION. Need more convincing that the abortion industry plays a large role in vaccine manufacturing? Sorry folks, though this may look like a trumped up horror story, I strongly suggest you research on government sites before dismissing the reality.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 I second that! Taking antibiotics for ear infections just makes more ear infections in the future! I really like Sambucol for fighting illness, it is elderberry extract, echinacea and propolis. It is really high in vitamin C and has drastically reduced illness in this house.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Warm oil helps to soothe the ear and garlic is a natural antibiotic. Mullein oil is also really good for ear infections.
