Vaccinations

Several people have asked, so here is a short summed up answer.

Vaccinations aren't for us.  We went according to the CDC schedule for Lincoln and I honestly think it played a role in how he is today. I feel he was going to be different, but not to the extreme he is now. The vaccination toxins played a role in his severity.  His neurologist and psychologist have both told me to no longer vaccinate him, which I'm fine with.

That being said.. What do I do about my other 2?  Well many are unaware but at our 1 yr vaccinations Lacey had a seizure from them. She didn't have a fever, just a seizure. I didn't want to give them in the first place,  mothers instinct again.  I didn't want to give Lincoln any either and wanted to delay them, but everyone thought I was crazy. Now I'm the crazy mom with a crazy kid :) Oh well, we didn't know and we still don't know for sure.   Therefore the girls haven't been vaccinated since 1 and will not until they are at least 5.

This is just what will be working for OUR family. It may not for yours.

The verdict is in

          Lincoln finally got in with a psychologist. He has been formally diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder PDD-NOS. He is also ADHD, who would have thunk ;). The reason for a quick diagnosis is that our insurance now covers the ever so expensive ABA therapy! Which reminds me , I need to give them another call today to get therapy started. Lincoln started a med for his ADHD, they are hopeful that if we can just get him to "stop" we can get him to vocalize. So far there have been minimal improvements. Sleep issues have been horrid lately with it. We give him melatonin at night and he is up 4 hrs later. Such a battle around here , but we're surviving. In August Lincoln will be seeing a Biomedical doctor in Tennessee who works on recovering Autism. Waiting, Waiting , Waiting. If anyone is graduating and thinking of what to go into, something specializing in autism care is it! ABA therapist are going to be making a KILLING soon. Especially ones who are BCBA (hope that is the correct letters ) certified, because they are the ones insurance covers, well ours at least. Happy Friday folks! Excited to have the weekend off !
