4 year old check up

Brady had his 4 year old check up today. He pooped in his diaper while in the waiting room and I was thrilled. I saved the diaper after I changed him and shared it with his ped. I wanted her to see the kind of pudding/diarrhea poop he's had FOR TWO FREAKING YEARS! She asked if he was consuming dairy. As if not consuming dairy means you're doomed to a life of diarrhea. Do vegans have chronic diarrhea? Seriously. I asked for a stool analysis. It's clear he's not digesting foods. Ask me how I know?

She asked for my feelings on vaccinations. I told her we would not be vaccinating Brady anymore. I did ask what he was "due for".

dTap diptheria, tetanus, pertussis
polio
varicella chickenpox
MMR measles, mumps, rubella

4 pokes..............8 farking vaccines

I mean doesn't anyone think that's a lot of vaccines for one visit? If he had a reaction how would we know which one it was too? I told her the thought actually made me angry. There are mothers every day who bring their children in and do that. CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!!

She tried to scare me just a little with the old measles and encephalitis bit. Seeing as how encephalitis is a listed adverse reaction from the vaccine I think it's a moot point. Seeing as how you can still get the measles even if you're vaccinated seems stupid. Seeing as how the measles ain't all that bad is even a stupider reason for getting the vaccine. I like the word stupider.

What I failed to bring up was the Hannah Poling case and mitochondrial dysfunction. So if it could happen to her, what about Brady? Wouldn't we want to make sure he didn't have MD BEFORE we gave him 8 vaccines? Or do we vaccinate him and say "Oh fuck, he's messed up even more. Let's test him for MD." But wait, the insurance company probably woudn't spend the money on a kid like Brady. You know a kid with autism. Them and those intellectually and developmentally delayed children aren't worthy of therapy and coverage. Assholes. EVERYONE is worthy of coverage.

Seriously.
I'll be expecting the postcard and phone call from the insurance company asking me why I didn't sacrifice my damaged child for the herd. FUCK YOUR HERD!

Nice mouth huh.
Don't care anymore.
I quit caring when I learned the truth.

Yep, I've had one of those weeks, too. All the vax are insane! We'll be holding off on them as well. We're leaving the herd for greener pastures! Fortunately we have a couple more years until we need more. (((HUGS))) to you!
