“Whatever you are, be a good one.” -Abraham Lincoln-
I had a post on here a while back about the debate of vaccinating your child. To recap, I do vaccinate Aubrey because I believe it is better to be safe than sorry. However, I respect a parent’s right to make their own decisions for their own children.
I just thought this story was relevant to that and wanted to share it.
As a working mother from Oklahoma, I'm here to share my thoughts on everything from potty training, to social issues, to what God is teaching me through serving Him each day about all of the things we face each day. Thanks for visiting and I look forward to the discussion!
thanks for sharing the story. Autism is a difficult diagnosis for families. Maybe this ruling will put some brakes on Autism being a ‘hot diagnosis’ for kids who do not have it. That way, families who really have to deal with Autism can have the best help.
Angie, I agree. As more and more people are choosing not to vaccinate their children out of fear, cases of Autism have risen, so the numbers just don’t add up. I knew an autistic kid when I was living in Tulsa for my semester off and it is heartbreaking. I hope new research and cures are found soon. I can’t imagine what it must be like to parent a child with that disorder, I truly admire those parents and wish for their strength.

When we started researching vaccines, I was really disgusted and surprised that many are grown on 2 aborted fetuses. Just FYI; and, you are going to see a lot more news and “research” come out about vaccines. Just beware- drug companies are businesses and not always out for your best interest.
Cindy, thanks for the website, I’ll check it out. I don’t think I can be convinced not to vaccinate my child, though. Everyone I know was vaccinated and they are fine. I spread Aubrey’s shots over two weeks if there are more than 3 vaccines going in. Also, I got that chain email about the aborted fetuses thing as well and was completely disgusted as anyone should be, so I called Aubrey’s doctor freaking out. She said that their office would never purchase or offer vaccinations with those ingredients and furthermore, it is a myth and no one she knows in the medical field uses them, nor are they common. That put my mind to rest as she has been a doctor for over 20 years now.
