I am still in shock at the governments decision. I am very thankful, but again, very sad to know that it truly was the vaccine that caused her injury. My emotions go back and forth on an hourly basis. Of course I always "knew" it was the vaccine, even when all the doctors said it was extremely unlikely, even when I would get "the look" from other people I told her story to, strangers, even some friends - I could see they thought I was reaching and just trying to blame her condition on something...anything....but I was not. I have been vindicated. Julia will be supported. My financial life has a chance of coming back from a very bad place.
I also have noticed that her story has been posted on the internet in several areas saying her case was an Autism case that was won. All I can say is that she was never given a diagnosis of Autism. I do not want this to be misunderstood. Her case was decided as an ENCEPHALITIS with resultant brain damage and epilepsy case. I do feel for all of you out there with the Autism diagnosis - I really do, and I hope that Julia's case, in some way will help all of your cases. I will do anything I can to help support your cause. I just do not want her concession to be misunderstood.
Thank you all.
Susan
