Four years ago today, my ignorance overtook me, and I allowed my daughter to get 5 different live virus vaccines poked into her left shoulder. I remember it like it was yesterday. Visions of the day keep going through my head. She screamed and cried, and so did i, well cried anyway, having NO IDEA what I had just done to my baby girl. I would find that out nine days later. Brain damaged - severely - forever.
Once again Julia, I am so very sorry that I just believed what all the Dr's told me. I was trying to do what was best for you. I now know better.
I have learned so much over the last four years. About vaccines, about careers and career changes. About the support from (most) family and friends. About loss of those who I NEVER thought would leave my side. About NEW friends to take the place of the family members I have lost. About GIVING and helping people in need. I think I have become a more compassionate person through this horrific nightmare.
I am thankful this year, that ALL of Julia's needs will be taken care of soon through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program - that was a long four year battle, but we did it Julia! Soon, the financial worries for your care will disapppear! I just need to hire a really good attorney for you and an even BETTER accountant for me, as paperwork has always been a difficulty for me to keep up with, but I will, with everyone's help - especially an accountant.
Life is good, and I love you more than ANYONE would ever know. Love you baby girl - now and always.
Mom
