Julia's Story
- Julia
- Colorado
- Julia was born a healthy baby on 12-28-05. She was a delight to her family. On January 5th,2007, 1 week past her 1st b-day, our family's lives changed forever. Julia had been seizing most of the night, was transported to the nearest ER for stabilization, and then airlifted to Miami Children's hospital, where she stayed in PICU and the neurology ward for nearly one month. Her diagnosis? Encephalitis (inflammation of her brain) most likely attributed to the MMR-V (measles, mumps, reubella, chicken pox) vaccine she had received nine days previously. When Julia left the hospital, she was functioning at an 8 week level. She is globally delayed, nonverbal and has significant left sided hemiplegia along with severe behavior issues. It has been over 4 years since her MMR-V encephalitis, and Julia has progressed, but has a very long way to go. Julia's case with the Vaccine Court was recently conceded and the settlement is complete. I am thankful for the government's concession. Julia lives with her brother, Jack who is 8 and her mom, Susan, and Mr. Shawn. Julia and her family are hanging in there and hope you enjoy her blog! Go Julia!
