Clinical narrative: I would like some help to find out if my daughters death was caused by a Vaccine Induced Reaction. This all started on November 13 2008. This is the day the i took my daughter to the clinic. She was supposed to be seen for her 2 month well child exam which she was was not. The primary doctor had only seen her once and this was on her 2 week well child exam. When we went in for her 2 month checkup we had seen a nurse practitioner. The doctor never came into see her not even once on this day nor did the nurse weigh her do any of the measurements of check to make sure that everything was growing normally. She had me sign for 2 vaccines when after all this i found out that she was given for 2 that i didn't know about. We were sent home right after the vaccines were given and told to come back in 4 weeks for more and to expect drowsiness, fussiness, low appetite, not sleeping, irritability, that's what had happened Thursday night. She slept most that afternoon and evening with very little to eat. Friday morning she was a little fussier then usual. Later on into the day we had noticed her to be warm to the touch but i had checked and it was normal a few more hours into the night. She developed a fairly high pitched cry and it seemed like she had a belly ache but yet eating very much. She was up about every 30 min during that Friday night and she usually was a really good sleeper through the night. On saturday morning i had gotten up to feed her i made a 6 oz bottle she still had about 2 oz left. When she was finished i burped her changed her she was still really fussy so i laid her down on a u shaped pillow and put her on her belly and i laid down beside her and patted her on her bottom and i fell back asleep next to her and was woke up by her father that had just gotten out of bed and told me to make sure the baby is breathing. I grabbed her and her body was limp but still warm to touch. I held her close to my body and ran across the street to the police station where the ambulance had responded and took us to the hospital. They were able to resuscitate her but she could not breath on her own nor did she have any brain function. They then air lifted us to the hospital. After being there for 24 hours the doctor had told us that our baby was not going to live and they see retinal hemorrhaging in the back of the eyes and the only 2 ways were a car wreck or some body had to of shaken her. Well i know that that is not what happened and i have research about these vaccines and all the signs start the day she was vaccinated.
