Clinical narrative: 10 days after he recieved his 1st Hepatitis B vaccination his stomach became distended and his digestive system shut down. He no longer had regular bowel movements and it became very difficult for him. He was at his pediatrician 5 times before he was 1 month old and NOTHING was done to help this child poop easier.  At his 2 month appointment I did not want to give him his shots because he was still having issues with his bowels. I discussed these concerns with the pediatrician was told that the immunizations were safe and that this was what was best. He would have a bowel movement every 7-10 days and it would be very difficult for him to pass. He was extremely distended and cried whenever I put him on the floor for tummy time. He had to be held constantly and snuggled close against my chest.  Eventutally he couldn't latch on tight when I nursed him and he did not meet his regular milestones. He did roll over from belly to back at 10 weeks of age but then eventually quite doing that. ( a result of his 2nd hep B shot).  He is now 3 1/2 years old and can not stand up on his own, does not walk, and does not talk. He does sit up but did not do that until he was 15-18 months old.  At each doctor visit I asked if his delays were caused by the immunizations and each time I was "reassured" that they were not. What I would like to know is why do physicians explain the risks and complications that the vaccines can cause but then when something goes wrong they tell you the immunizations had nothing to do with it?  This child is very precious to us and I am SICKENED by the fact that he was born normal and we trusted the government to test the vaccinations and make sure they were SAFE before they were injected to my child. Now they want to add a Rotavirus and a Hep A vaccine all to be given to a child before the age of 2. SCARY!!! 2/27/06 Medical records received from Dr. which revealed patient experienced hypotonia, developmental delays, jaundice at birth, decreased muscle tone, ataxia, hypermobile joints, athetosis, speech disorder/ss Records received from Dr., a sensory motor specialist which revealed ataxic disorder, limited speech & limited manual coordination.  Dx: cerebellar dysorganization & speech, motor & manual deficits.  Extensive neurodevelopmental exercises were taught to the parents who then enlisted a group of volunteers to assist.  Patient was able to progress with intensive work./ss 60 Day Follow-up Information 12-MAY-2006: Patient is almost 4 years old and is unable to stand on his own, walk or talk. He has low muscle tone and weak stomach and back muscles needed to stand and walk. His speech is delayed as well. I will never again vaccine another child. Patient will NOT receive the shots required before starting kindergarten and my grandchildren will NOT receive their vaccinations if I have my say in it. These shots are suppose to be for the well being of the child not make them handicapped for life. 3/30/2010 Child is almost 5 years old and cannot stand up, walk or talk. Not sure if he'll ever gain that or not.
