Heartbreaking and powerful. My child had a similar reaction in 1996 to 7 vaccines at once. Similar response from all the doctors. Never trusted them since. Thankfully for us she recovered...mostly. Developed tics years later. But not autism. God bless you Julie for this poignant piece and thank you. Not for your sacrifice, which you never should have had to make. But for speaking up and refusing to back down. Who knows how many you have saved?

Wow! The most emotional piece I have ever read. I feel every emotional pain this family must have endured. It brought me back to my own issues I had as a young mother. Sadly, we had our own health issues and experiences. The gas-lighting from these pediatricians is overwhelming!! As parents we intuitively know our children best! We know instinctively when something isn’t right. We earnestly want to do what’s best for our children our whole family. We were told medical professionals are who we trust.
