Day 8

The CDC called while I was at the doctors with krista. For them to call back that fast (we filled out the VAERS form last Friday) and on a federal holiday tells me that something is up with this vaccine. They wouldn't confirm there was a bad batch, just that they were having an increase of adverse reactions. 

Interesting. 

The doctor ran tests and set us up for an appoint at children's hospital with a neurologist. They had to take blood and she got stressed. I think that's why she had mini episodes at the doctors then two on the way home. One was at the store and she fell to her knees. We just start singing shake it off and that makes her laugh. Keeping her calm and distracted is key I think. It just gets worse, like anything else, when she's super upset. I hope that's it for today but I know it's probably not. Night time has been the worst lately. I hope she gets sleep and can get through school Tuesday. 

Update: tonight was awful. (Side note, when I refer to the "episode" I mean the full body, "clonic seizures". They look most like clonic seizures than anything else I can find on the web) She had at least 15 episodes maybe more I lost count. It seems to get worse when her body starts to rest. I made chris run out and get "natural calm" which helped to calm her down but she had two more episodes after drinking it. It seemed to help some. I'm going to school with her in the morning to meet with the nurse, principal, counselor and hopefully teachers. We will see how long she will last. She's usually in good spirits and ok in the mornings. I'm just worried that with PE and the stress of worrying if she'll have another episode, she won't be ok by the afternoon. We forgot to take her vitimans A and D yesterday and she had cheese, wonder if any of that made a difference. We are trying to stick to the diet but it's so hard right now. I will have to remember everything tomorrow. I hope this vaccine somehow can work it's way out of her system, SOON.
